Early Cancer Add-on

Spotting the signs of cancers early can be vitally important. In many instances, beginning treatment for cancer early can make all the difference. Our Enhanced and Elite health checks, which include tests for prostate (PSA) or ovarian (CA-125) cancer, can be upgraded with additional cancer risk tests. The Early Cancer Add-on has been specifically designed to assess further cancer risks of the stomach, bowel, and cervix. The Early Cancer Add-on is recommended for the over 40s only.

When looking at cancer tests, it’s important to recognise that no test can be 100% perfect. While our tests can highlight cancer risk, ‘false positives’ (abnormal results where cancer is not present) and ‘false negatives’ (normal results where cancer could be present) can also occur. That’s why all results will be explained fully in your employee’s results report, and we include a 15-minute telephone consultation with a registered GP after all laboratory results have been analysed. The GP review can be used to discuss any worrying symptoms and if appropriate, a discussion can also take place in relation to any cancers that might run in the family.
