DWIBS With Chest CT Scan And Tumour Marker is a detailed health screening that combines three essential tests to check for cancer and other hidden health problems. DWIBS scan looks through your entire body to find any abnormal growth. Unlike MRI or CT scans, DWIBS (Diffusion Weighted Imaging with Background Suppression) focuses on detecting changes in water movement inside your tissues, which can help to diagnose early signs of cancer. Meanwhile, Chest CT Scan takes high resolution images of your chest and lungs, where for instance lung cancer can be caught early. Then, Tumour Marker is performed to measure certain proteins in the blood that tumours release, which can signal the presence of cancer even when there are no visible symptoms.

These three screening tests provide a wide-reaching, non-invasive, and efficient way to detect cancer, monitor for recurrence, or simply gain peace of mind about your health. Whether you have a family history of cancer, previous medical concerns, or just want a reliable check-up, this screening is a smart and preventive step toward maintaining long-term well-being.

Tumours, whether they are benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), are active in the body and produce specific proteins known as tumour markers. These tumour markers are released into the blood and can be detected with a simple blood test. In addition to checking the level of these proteins, the doctor can also study the messenger RNA (mRNA) activity related to these tumour markers. This gives even more detailed information about how active or aggressive a possible tumour might be.

Along with blood testing, imaging plays a big role. DWIBS checks the entire body for areas where water molecules move differently, an early sign that tissues might not be normal, such as cancer. Meanwhile, the Chest CT Scan offers a very sharp look at the lungs and chest, for the detection of abnormal growth such as tumours that might not show up elsewhere. Together, these screening techniques give the doctor a “full picture” of your health, blood test for chemical changes, and imaging for structural changes. The combination increases the chance of identifying problems early where they can be treated more easily and successfully.
