This package includes tests that may detect signs that could be indicative of cancer, this includes bowel, prostate, bladder and blood cancers. Other tests within this package identify risk factors for developing stomach cancer. These tests alone are not diagnostic and abnormalities could be due to an array of medical conditions or illnesses, any abnormality would require further investigation by your own GP or health care provider. If your results include an amber or red finding, you'll also have access to specialist cancer nursing support through Perci Health at no extra cost.
When looking at cancer tests, it's important to appreciate that no test can be 100% perfect. What some doctors call 'false positives' (results that are raised, but may turn out not to be serious) can occur. Likewise, 'false negatives' (results that appear normal but do not confirm the absence of a condition) can also occur.
That's why all your results are explained fully in your Results Report. And you'll have the added benefit of discussing any concerns you may have with a registered GP during a private consultation by phone or webcam after your appointment. Should your results need further specialist support, you'll also have access to Perci Health's cancer nursing team, included for all Bluecrest customers at no extra cost.
In addition, please ensure you read the guidelines in relation to PSA testing so you understand the benefits and limitation of the test before selecting it.
Spotting the signs of cancers early can be vitally important. In many instances, beginning treatment for cancer early can make all the difference. This package is suitable for ages 40-79. We do not recommend this package if you're aged under 40 due to the risk of false positives and false negatives. However, if you have a close family relative who has had a diagnosis of prostate cancer under the age of 50 years, then we would recommend this package if you are under the age of 40 years.

Formerly known as Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) test, this is an updated, even more accurate version of the highly sensitive screening test that checks for hidden (occult) blood in the stool (faeces).
This test helps detect traces of human blood in stool. The test uses a self-collection kit with full instructions on how to collect a small stool sample at home.
This test looks for Helicobacter Pylori in the blood. This bacterial infection of the stomach lining may lead to ulcers in the stomach, increasing the risk of stomach cancer.
