Private clinics/hospitals in Europe can do this, and I'm assuming at a lot less of a price than 50k. I always go to private clinics in Europe and for getting your entire body tested costs, in Estonia, maybe a few thousand USD. I recommend Confido (https://www.confido.ee/en/). No health insurance or residency or anything required, just make an appointment, and pay for it. That's it.

In Spain I was very happy with Sanitas (http://sanitas.es/).

Having lived in Estonia I caution you a bit, while the medical treatment I received there was fine, it wasn't at American standards imo (I tried both public and private over my ~2yrs of living there). If you want top tier service, I would focus west, I've heard Germany has some great clinics (e.g. Charite)

You should also check out the Netherlands. It's a private system but if I'm not mistaken prices are largely set by the government. Not sure if that applies only to residents though.
