Private Early Cancer Detection Tests

Cancer screening tests are specifically intended to look for signs of cancer before a person experiences any symptoms or the condition progresses. This is crucial as detecting cancer in its early stages can mean that treatment is more effective and outcomes more favourable. So, regular early cancer detection tests can be beneficial for anyone looking to take a practical approach to managing their overall health.

Our private early cancer detection tests offer screening for a range of common cancers, including prostate (in those assigned male at birth), bladder, stomach, bowel, and cervical (in those assigned female at birth). The test offers a quick, accurate, and easy way to assess your general health and provide insights into your risk of these common cancers, picking up on signs before you may even experience any symptoms.

What do early cancer detection tests involve?

At the Health Screening Clinic, our private early cancer tests involve collecting at-home samples and attending an appointment with a Health Assessment Specialist for blood tests. Below, we outline precisely what each cancer risk screening involves:

Prostate cancer test – involves having a blood test to analyse the levels of PSA ( prostate-specific antigen) in your blood. Raised levels of prostate-specific antigen can be a sign of prostate problems, including cancer.
Stomach cancer test - involves having a blood test to look for signs of Helicobacter Pylori antibodies in your blood. H Pylori is a common bacteria that can cause inflammation, lead to stomach ulcers, and increase your risk of developing stomach cancer.
Bladder cancer test – involves producing a urine sample sent off to analyse 11 components, including crystals, glucose, ketone, protein, and blood.
Cervical cancer test – our at-home vaginal swab kit allows you to take a cervical screening test in the comfort of your own home. Once completed, you can send your swab sample to one of our labs to be analysed for the presence of HPV (Human papillomavirus), which is linked to an increased risk of cervical cancer.
Bowel cancer test – is assessed by sending a stool sample to our lab, where it is analysed for tiny particles of blood, which can be an early sign of bowel cancer.

For all our at-home sample tests, we provide full instructions on collecting the samples and provide pre-addressed and paid packaging, so sending your samples to one of our trusted labs is easy.

For tests requiring a blood sample, we will ask you to book an appointment at a time, date, and location that’s convenient for you. During your appointment, a trained phlebotomist will collect a small blood sample from your arm’s vein, which is quick and mostly painless. Your sample will be sent to our modern laboratory using advanced technology to analyse the sample.

Our full-body health screenings are ideal for people who want to take control of their health. Our tests are rapid, reliable and accurate. Any individual test can be added to any full body health check.
