Individual tumour markers for cancer screening.

Booking details

Overview

Trucheck Intelli Multi-Cancer Screening is a revolutionary blood-based test that detects over 70 types of solid tumors through the identification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in your bloodstream. Unlike traditional screening methods that focus on single cancer types, this comprehensive test provides whole-body cancer surveillance from a simple blood draw. Early detection is vital for successful cancer treatment and cure—late detection typically leads to intensive treatments, higher costs, and poorer outcomes.

Key Test Components

Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Detection

The test identifies individual tumor cells and clusters of cells that have broken away from malignant tumors and are circulating in your bloodstream. 

Trucheck can distinguish approximately 70 types of solid tumors, accounting for around 81% of all cancer cases and 84% of cancer-related deaths in Europe.

When CTCs are detected (positive result), the test provides tissue or organ of origin analysis with 96% accuracy.

Sample Requirements

Sample Type:

Venous blood sample (25ml) drawn from arm

Please note

TruCheck Intelli is a proactive screening test for asymptomatic adults. If you currently have symptoms that could be caused by cancer — for example unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, a new lump, or a change in bowel habit — please see your GP or contact 111 rather than book a screening test. Symptoms need diagnostic investigation, not screening.

How the TruCheck screening process works

TruCheck Intelli is a straightforward blood-based screening test that fits around your life. Here is what happens from booking to receiving your report.

1

Book online

Choose a clinic appointment or a nurse-led home visit through our booking system.

2

Blood sample

A trained phlebotomist collects a 25ml venous blood sample. The draw itself takes around 10 to 15 minutes.

3

Laboratory analysis

Your sample is sent under temperature-controlled conditions to the Datar Cancer Genetics laboratory for TruCheck Intelli analysis.

4

Written report

You receive a full written report within 12 to 15 working days of collection.

5

Discuss results

If further steps are needed, we help you take the report to your GP or a specialist for follow-up.

What TruCheck Intelli screens for

TruCheck Intelli detects circulating tumour cells (CTCs) associated with a broad range of solid tumour types. Publicly available Datar Cancer Genetics documentation currently references over 70 solid tumour types across the major organ systems.

Solid tumour types included:
Breast · Lung · Prostate · Colorectal (bowel) · Pancreatic · Liver · Ovarian · Head and neck · Thyroid · Melanoma (skin) · Gastric (stomach) · Renal (kidney) · Bladder · Cervical · Uterine · Oesophageal · and more.

What TruCheck does not screen for

TruCheck is designed for solid tumours only. It is not intended to detect:

  • Blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma
  • Primary brain and central nervous system tumours
  • Non-solid tumours and some rare cancer types

If you have a specific personal or family cancer concern, please raise this with your GP or a specialist so the right test — screening or diagnostic — can be arranged.

Who may consider TruCheck?

TruCheck is designed for asymptomatic adults who want to add multi-cancer screening to their regular health monitoring. It is a proactive, private option that sits alongside — not in place of — the NHS cancer screening programmes and any care your GP provides.

Commonly considered by

  • Adults aged 40 and over who want additional proactive screening
  • People with a family history of cancer
  • Individuals who already engage in preventative health checks and want to broaden coverage
  • People who wish to complement their NHS breast, bowel and cervical screening invitations

Not suitable if

  • You currently have symptoms that could be caused by cancer — please see your GP
  • You have an active cancer diagnosis or are undergoing cancer treatment
  • You are pregnant — please contact us to discuss suitability
  • You are under the age recommended for adult multi-cancer screening

Accuracy, evidence and clinical context

TruCheck Intelli has been developed and validated in peer-reviewed clinical studies by Datar Cancer Genetics and independent researchers. Published data reports high specificity (the ability to correctly identify people who do not have cancer) and clinically useful sensitivity (the ability to correctly identify people who do).

A note on accuracy figures. Because sensitivity and specificity vary by study population, cancer type and stage, we prefer to walk you through the current published data at the point of booking rather than quote a single headline percentage. If you would like the underlying references before you book, please contact our team and we will share them.

What this means in practice is that TruCheck is designed to identify signals that warrant further investigation. It does not confirm or rule out cancer on its own — a positive result always needs to be followed up with a clinician, and a negative result does not eliminate all cancer risk.

Understanding your TruCheck results

Your written report will indicate whether the test has detected signals associated with circulating tumour cells, and where possible will suggest a likely tissue of origin.

If your result is negative

No circulating tumour cell signals were detected in your sample at the time of testing. This is reassuring, but it does not guarantee absence of cancer.

You should continue to attend NHS screening (breast, bowel and cervical), stay alert to any new symptoms, and consider repeat multi-cancer screening on a schedule that suits your personal risk.

If your result is positive

Signals associated with circulating tumour cells were detected. This is not a diagnosis of cancer — it is an indication that further clinical investigation is needed.

We will help you take the report to your GP or a specialist so that the appropriate follow-up tests (such as imaging or a biopsy) can be arranged promptly.

Important limitations you should understand

We want you to make an informed choice. Every screening test has trade-offs, and being transparent about them is part of how we work.

LimitationWhat it means for you
Not a diagnostic testTruCheck flags cell-level signals that warrant further investigation. It cannot, on its own, confirm or rule out cancer.
False positives are possibleSome people receive a positive result even though no cancer is present. This can lead to further tests and short-term anxiety.
False negatives are possibleSome cancers may not be picked up by the test, even at the time of sampling.
Not every cancer is includedThe test targets solid tumours. It is not designed to detect blood cancers, brain tumours, or every rare cancer.
Does not replace NHS screeningTruCheck is an addition to — not a substitute for — NHS breast, bowel, cervical and other recommended screening.
Not for symptomatic peopleIf you have symptoms that could suggest cancer, a private screening test is the wrong pathway. Please see your GP.
Evidence is still evolvingThe long-term impact of multi-cancer blood tests on cancer outcomes at a population level is still being studied in the UK.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TruCheck Intelli multi-cancer screening test?

TruCheck Intelli is a private blood-based screening test that looks for circulating tumour cells (CTCs) associated with over 70 types of solid tumours. It is designed for asymptomatic adults who want a proactive multi-cancer screening option alongside NHS screening.

How much does TruCheck cost in the UK?

TruCheck Intelli at Swift Blood Tests costs £1,200. This is a single transparent price covering the blood draw, temperature-controlled sample transport, laboratory analysis at Datar Cancer Genetics, and your full written report. There are no hidden lab or courier fees.

How does TruCheck compare to Galleri?

TruCheck and Galleri are two different multi-cancer detection technologies. TruCheck looks for circulating tumour cells (whole cancer cells in the bloodstream). Galleri looks for methylation signals from tumour DNA. Both are private tests in the UK and both require a follow-up clinical pathway if the result is positive. The right choice depends on cost, availability and the clinical picture — our team is happy to talk through the differences.

How accurate is the TruCheck test?

TruCheck Intelli has been validated in peer-reviewed clinical studies published by Datar Cancer Genetics and independent researchers. Because sensitivity and specificity vary by cancer type, stage and study population, we prefer to walk you through the current published data at the point of booking rather than quote a single headline percentage. If you would like the underlying references before you book, please contact our team.

Does TruCheck replace NHS cancer screening?

No. TruCheck is an addition to — not a substitute for — NHS breast, bowel, cervical and other recommended screening programmes. Please continue to attend all NHS screening invitations, regardless of whether you have taken a private multi-cancer test.

What cancers does TruCheck screen for?

TruCheck Intelli looks for signals associated with over 70 solid tumour types, including breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, liver, ovarian, head and neck, thyroid, melanoma, gastric, renal, bladder, cervical, uterine and oesophageal cancers, among others. It does not detect blood cancers, primary brain tumours or some rare cancer types.

Who is TruCheck suitable for?

TruCheck is designed for asymptomatic adults aged 40 and over who want additional proactive multi-cancer screening. It is commonly considered by people with a family history of cancer or those already engaged in preventative health checks. It is not suitable for people with current cancer symptoms, an active cancer diagnosis, or anyone undergoing cancer treatment.

What happens if my TruCheck result is positive?

A positive result is not a cancer diagnosis. It indicates that signals warranting further investigation have been detected. We will help you take your report to your GP or a specialist so that the appropriate follow-up — for example imaging or a biopsy — can be arranged.

What happens if my TruCheck result is negative?

A negative result means no circulating tumour cell signals were detected at the time of testing. This is reassuring, but it does not eliminate all cancer risk. You should continue to attend NHS screening, stay alert to new symptoms, and consider repeating multi-cancer screening on a schedule that suits your personal risk.

How long does the TruCheck test take?

The blood draw itself takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Your written report is issued within 12 to 15 working days of the sample being collected.

Where can I book a TruCheck test?

Swift Blood Tests offers TruCheck Intelli via clinic appointments and nurse-led home visits across Essex, Bromley and Surrey. Book online from the panel above, call 01277 652067, or email enquiries@swiftbloodtests.co.uk.

Can I have TruCheck at home?

Yes — nurse-led home visits are available across Essex, Bromley and Surrey, subject to postcode coverage. Please check your postcode at the booking stage.

Do I need a GP referral for TruCheck?

No, you do not need a GP referral to book privately. We recommend keeping your GP informed of any private screening you take, so that any follow-up can be integrated into your NHS care.

Is TruCheck safe?

TruCheck requires a standard venous blood draw of 25ml. The procedure carries the usual minor risks associated with any blood test (mild bruising or discomfort at the draw site) and no additional risks beyond that.

How often should I take a multi-cancer screening test?

There is no single recommended interval. Frequency depends on your age, family history and personal risk. If you would like a view based on your circumstances, our team can talk you through what other patients typically choose.
