Built around the two screens that actually change outcomes — low-dose chest CT and colonoscopy — plus the imaging and laboratory work that surrounds them.
What's included4 module groups
Core screens
- Low-dose chest CT
- Gastroscopy and colonoscopy under light sedation, with biopsy taken during the same procedure if indicated
- Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound
Targeted imaging
- Ultrasound of thyroid, breast and neck lymph nodes
- Liver elastography and abdominal MRI where indicated
- Optional whole-body PET-CT
Laboratory
- Broad tumour marker panel (CEA, AFP, CA19-9, CA-125, CA72-4, CYFRA 21-1, NSE and others)
- Hepatitis B and C viral load where relevant
- H. pylori testing with antibiotic-sensitivity guidance
Consultation
- Oncology or gastroenterology review of the findings
- Pathology turnaround arranged and communicated
- English report and a named next step for any abnormal result
Who this is designed for
- Adults over 40, particularly with a family history of cancer
- Guests with long-standing H. pylori infection, hepatitis B or C, or fatty liver disease
- Anyone with unexplained weight loss, persistent bowel change or a suspicious lesion seen elsewhere
- Guests with screenable risk who cannot get endoscopy where they live
Why guests do this in China
- Endoscopy that biopses while it is there. If the endoscopist sees something suspicious it is sampled in the same sedation session, rather than a second appointment weeks later.
- Imaging at diagnosis-grade quality. The same low-dose CT and MRI platforms used for staging are used for screening, so a finding is characterised in one pass.
- Pathology without the wait. Histology is reported within days, which matters enormously when something suspicious is found.
How it works, day by day
- Day 1 — Fasting bloodwork, tumour markers, ultrasound and hepatitis / H. pylori testing; anaesthetic assessment for endoscopy.
- Day 2 morning — Sedated gastroscopy and colonoscopy, with biopsy if indicated; recovery and physician review.
- Day 2 afternoon — Low-dose chest CT and any targeted imaging such as liver elastography.
- Day 3 — Pathology and imaging compiled into an English report; oncology or gastroenterology consultation.
Pricing & what your quote covers
Quote on request
Pricing on request — you receive a written, itemised quote within 24 hours of your enquiry, before you commit to anything.
Every quote is itemised, and covers:
- Hospital and physician fees for every module listed on this page
- English-language written report with physician commentary
- Interpreter accompaniment throughout the screening days
- Airport pick-up and transfer to and from the hospital
- Hotel shortlist and booking assistance at negotiated rates
- A physician walk-through of your report before you fly home
No deposit is required to receive a quote. If you decide not to travel, nothing is owed. A quote is not a medical opinion and does not commit either side until you confirm in writing.
Optional add-ons
- Whole-body PET-CT
- Breast MRI or mammography
- Prostate MRI with PSA density assessment
- Low-dose CT of the abdomen for renal and pancreatic review
- Genetic risk panel for hereditary cancer syndromes
Add-ons are priced separately in the same written quote. We will tell you if a module is not worth doing in your case.
Frequently asked questions
What does a checkup in China cost?
We quote on request. Chinese hospitals set self-pay rates individually depending on the modules selected and the hospital tier, so a published figure would be misleading for most guests. Send us the package you are interested in and we return a written, itemised quote within 24 hours — hospital fees, English report, interpreter and transfers all listed separately, before you book anything.
How long until pathology results come back?
Typically within three to five working days. Because the pathology is generated in-house, we can usually deliver the report and the follow-up consultation inside your trip.
Can you screen me for a specific cancer my relative had?
Yes — tell us the cancer type and the age at diagnosis. The recommendation changes materially between, for example, a first-degree relative with colon cancer at 45 and one at 75.
A marker came back raised. Does that mean cancer?
No. Tumour markers rise for many benign reasons, and they are never diagnostic on their own. Raised values trigger imaging and specialist review, which is usually how the question gets settled.
