Re: Cancer Marker Screening
If you have to go to PP, in that case go directly to Thailand. Cheaper and better. If you have the money, private hospitals will do but they will rape your wallet. The private hospitals in PP and SR usually belong to the same major Thai group Bangkok hospitals.
Perhaps a better approach would be:
Phisanulok hospital in North-Central Thailand. One of the very best and most modern. There are also very good public hospitals in BKK. Another one might be the Sattahip (just south of pattaya) military hospital. Many of the latter's staff work part time at the overpriced private hospitals in Pattaya.
My first choice would be Phisanulok because I m not sure about BKK hospitals.
So my advice would be to go on a Thai forum, like Thaivisa, and ask there. Much larger expats community and a good chance that someone went through this process which you might be facing.

Re: Cancer Marker Screening
So I think you are referring to a CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) blood test. It was explained to me that cancers give off proteins and this tests the amount of protein in the blood. An elevated level could be an indicator of cancer.TheWarrior wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 4:56 pm Anybody knows where to do Cancer Marker Screening in Siem Reap (If not Phnom Penh).

I googled CEA test in Phnom Penh and found this: http://www.chorayphnompenhhospital.com. ... 46&lang=en It's listed as test #172 costing $8.
I couldn't find anything on the web in Siem Reap but I guess you could ask around at the clinics/hospitals there. I tend to think there's probably more places that could do it in PP too albeit not coming up on google.

Re: Cancer Marker Screening
Since there is no cure for cancer. Why would you want to know? I could take 20 years to effect you and you'll be hit a bus before then.
