Before You Book
Your first visit.
It is a single blood draw, quick and routine. The important part is the follow-up: a clinician reviews the result with you and, if a signal is found, guides the next diagnostic steps.
Who it’s not for
It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and it does not replace mammograms, colonoscopies, or other standard screenings. It is best for adults adding a layer of early detection, discussed with a clinician, not a substitute for routine care.
