HIGH LEVELS OF TUMOUR MARKERS MAY BE A SIGN OF CANCER

What are tumour/cancer markers?

Tumour markers are antigens that can be produced by both normal and cancerous cells in our body.

Elevated tumour markers can be an indication of an underlying cancerous condition or can be a result of other non-cancerous conditions. As such, tumour marker tests cannot be used in isolation to screen or diagnose cancers.

An elevated tumour marker should always be investigated with detailed diagnostic tests.

Seek medical attention immediately if your report looks like this.

We are on all major panels Insurance

For our patients with Integrated Shield plans with riders for private hospital coverage, Alpine Surgical Practice is able to help you with the application of the Letter of Guarantee (LOG) or Pre-Authorisation Certificates for cashless payment on the day of your procedure. In addition, we work with the Hospital or Surgical centres to do Electronic filing for your medical claims.

 

 

Advisor Partners​

We understand that some of your insurance plans may come with deductible and co-insurance. Our insurance advisor partners will advise you on how to utilise your Medisave and your existing Corporate insurance to cover the deductible and co-insurance so that there is minimal cash outlay.

We also understand that with the increasing adoption of pay-per-use insurance policies with rise in premiums per claim, it is important to control costs. As such, Alpine Surgical Practice works with our partnering Day Surgery centers to cut down costs for minor procedures and scopes.
