Cancer Screening: What You Need to Know

Cancer screening helps diagnose cancer or signs of cancer, even before symptoms show.
Our cancer screening services provide detailed images of tissues, organs, and structures. We also offer simple blood tests that detect signs of cancer early.
We offer quick access to cancer screening services, including MRI, Trucheck blood tests, ultrasounds, and prostate screening. Our tests can help detect cancer earlier so you can get the right course of treatment sooner.
Our healthcare team understands the cancers these screening tests may detect. They get to know you and your medical history properly, to provide a high-quality, caring service from screening to aftercare.

You don’t need to have cancer symptoms to have a screening test. Cancer screenings are used to detect cancer or to prevent it. Early detection gives you the best chance of treating or preventing cancer effectively.
After your screening, you will receive the results. If you need further tests, we will arrange these for you. If your test returns normal, you don’t need to do anything until the next screening.
The screening tests are considered low risk. However, the screening test might suggest cancer when you don’t have it, making you feel unnecessarily anxious. If the results show what’s known as ‘cancer markers’, you may need more tests, which could have side effects. Finally, screening might not detect your cancer and show a false negative result – our practitioners will advise you on the best course of action based on the facts. Regardless of the result, you will be well cared for before, during and after your screening.
