No. If you have any early signs or symptoms of any cancer type, you should see your family doctor immediately, or go to the nearest accident and emergency department to check your signs and symptoms.

As soon as you complete the simple booking procedure, you will receive a confirmation email about the time and date of your phone or video conferencing medical history and genetic risk assessment consultation.

You can then send this back to our laboratory at Harley Street in London. Afterwards, you will be booked for a phone or video conferencing consultation with one of our consultant doctors to discuss the results of your laboratory tests and your cancer risk assessment.

After receiving your laboratory results, we will send you a detailed medical report including all of your laboratory results by post, along with a copy of your discharge letter to your family doctor.
