Specialist checks
TruCheck.
TruCheck is a doctor-led private health check in London. A multi-cancer early detection blood test that analyses circulating tumour cells to screen for 70 solid-organ cancers in asymptomatic individuals, with doctor-led interpretation.
Adults aged 35 to 40 with a strong family history of cancer or other risk factors, after suitability review.
People who want a non-invasive screening option alongside, not instead of, standard cancer screenings.
- Pre-test suitability review with a doctor
- TruCheck blood test for circulating tumour cells
- Screening covering 70 solid-organ cancers
- Doctor-led interpretation of results
- Personalised report and recommendations
Suitability review
Your doctor reviews your age, history, family history, and symptoms to confirm TruCheck is appropriate before prescribing the test.
Blood sample
A blood sample is taken in clinic and sent for advanced analysis to detect circulating tumour cells.
Results and advice
Your doctor explains the result, what it means for you, and whether any further investigations are recommended.
Preparation
Bring details of your family history of cancer, previous screening results, and any current symptoms. Do not book if you are under 35 years of age.
Results
Results are interpreted by your doctor and shared with a personalised report. A positive result indicates higher risk and the likely organ of origin; a negative result indicates lower risk but does not completely exclude cancer.
Follow-up
Further diagnostic tests, imaging, or specialist referral may be recommended depending on your result and clinical risk factors.
How this health check fits into preventative care
A private health check is most useful when the tests are interpreted alongside your medical history, family history, lifestyle, symptoms, medicines, and examination findings. The aim is not simply to collect results, but to help you understand what they mean and what, if anything, should happen next.
This check gives your doctor a structured way to assess relevant risk markers and discuss practical next steps. Some patients use it as an annual baseline, while others book because they have reached a particular age, have a family history of disease, or want a more detailed review than a short GP appointment can usually provide.
If the package is too narrow or too broad for your circumstances, the clinic can advise before or during the appointment. You can also compare this check with adjacent options on the pricing page, including shorter screens and more comprehensive packages with imaging or extended follow-up.
Does TruCheck replace conventional cancer screening?
No. TruCheck is designed to be used alongside standard screening such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and cervical smears, not to replace them.
Do I need a doctor to approve the test?
Yes. A healthcare provider must approve and prescribe TruCheck for you.
Is TruCheck suitable if I already have symptoms?
No. If you suspect you may have cancer or have symptoms, you should seek urgent medical advice rather than screening.
Can TruCheck be added to another health check?
Yes. It can be added to another health check as an upgrade, or booked as part of the Cancer Health Check.
Who is eligible for TruCheck?
It is generally for adults aged 40 or over with no previous or ongoing cancer. It may be suitable for adults aged 35 to 40 with a strong family history or other risk factors.
What cancers can TruCheck detect?
It screens for 70 solid-organ cancers, including melanoma, prostate, lung, breast, gastrointestinal, liver, gynaecological, and head and neck cancers.
Are there limitations?
Yes. False positives and false negatives can occur. It cannot detect blood or lymphatic cancers because it looks for circulating tumour cells from solid organ malignancies.
