About the clinic
A tumor marker blood test checks for specific substances in the blood that may indicate the presence of cancer. Gibbeum General Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, offers this diagnostic for around $400 to $1,100. The facility uses an in-house laboratory that operates 24/7 to provide fast results for patients.
Test details and markers
The diagnostic monitors several proteins and substances linked to different organs. The hospital provides a panel that includes markers for the liver, colon, pancreas, and lungs. Patients receive a report covering these specific markers:
- AFP. Screens for issues related to the liver.
- CEA. Used primarily to monitor the colon.
- CA19-9. Provides data regarding the health of the pancreas.
- CA-125 and CA15-3. Included in the female-specific panel for ovary and breast screening.
- PSA. A standard marker for prostate health in men.
- Cyfra21-1. Examines indicators for lung conditions.
- NMP22. A specialized urine test for bladder screening.
Clinic capabilities and setting
Gibbeum General Hospital is the only government-certified surgical-specialized general hospital in South Korea. It holds KOIHA accreditation and is a certified medical institution of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The hospital also serves as a training affiliate for Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH).
The blood draw is performed on an outpatient basis. The test can be added to larger cancer screening packages at the hospital's AI Health Care Center. This center offers a 10-major-cancer screening that includes a 70-item precise blood test. Because the Laboratory Medicine department is on-site, the clinic handles all pathology work internally to maintain speed and accuracy.

If it is not possible to assist a Russian-speaking client, simply say that you cannot, rather than assuring them that everything will be exceptional and a translator will accompany them. This way, the client won't travel from afar, wasting money and time. I was assured of full support, but there was no translator on site. No organization whatsoever. As a result, I was left to face the language barrier alone at the most critical moment. Now I feel much worse than I anticipated.
If there is no possibility to assist a Russian-speaking client, you should simply state that we cannot provide the service, instead of assuring them that everything will be top-notch and that a translator will be present! This way, the client will not travel from afar and waste money and time on the journey and preparation.
