How the process works
Book in for a GP consultation
with one of our doctors. We will conduct an initial consultation to review your medical history and discuss the test’s benefits and limitations.
Blood Sample Collection
Following your consultation, you’ll be brought back to the clinic to have your blood test.
Laboratory Analysis
Your blood sample will be sent to the laboratory, with results typically available within 2-3 weeks.
Results
You will be contacted by one of our doctors to discuss your results and arrange any onward investigations or referrals as necessary.
Understanding Your Results
Positive Result: This means that circulating tumour cells have been detected. You will be contacted to discuss your results in further detail and arrange referrals as appropriate through an established Trucheck care pathway.
Negative Result: This means that no detectable cancer cells were present at the time of testing for the cancers included in the screening panel. This does not guarantee future immunity from cancer or detect cancers outside the test’s scope.
