Trucheck

Available through:

Trucheck is a simple blood test used to help you find cancers early before symptoms show. Finding cancer early can significantly improve your chances of beating cancer. Trucheck looks for Circulating Tumour Cells and their clusters in blood, which malignant tumours release. These cells are the main reason cancer eventually spreads in the body.

You can consider using Trucheck if you currently have no signs of cancer but want to understand if you are currently suffering from cancer. You may  have a higher risk due to factors such as age, family history, profession, or lifestyle.

This can be paid through a payment link or over the telephone with our private services team.

A full refund will be issued if unsuitable to proceed.  You will then attend the blood test appointment at Thorpe Park Clinic to get your sample. This will be Monday to Thursday between 8am-4pm. No bookings will be made on Friday.

Step 4

After your appointment, the. blood sample and forms will be sent back to the laboratory for analysis. Results are typically returned within 2-3 weeks (12 working days is stated by the lab from receipt of the sample).
