Health Checkup Packages at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
The Cancer Prevention and Screening Center (5th floor, outpatient building) of the Cancer Hospital, CAMS, is China’s earliest dedicated cancer-screening unit. Packages are risk-stratified by age, sex, family history and occupation rather than sold as fixed male/female lists: an oncology specialist first assesses individual risk, then assembles a multi-cancer screening combination (lung, digestive-tract, breast, cervix, prostate, thyroid, liver and others). PET-CT and endoscopy can be added à la carte. Prices are shown in US dollars for reference.
