Check4Cancer
Check4Cancer offers a range of affordable fast access cancer tests which cover the six most common cancers in the UK.
Over half of people born in the UK after 1960 are expected to get cancer during their lifetime.
Yet the strains put on the NHS by Covid-19 meant that over 3 million people missed routine cancer screening appointments in England during the pandemic. The disruption to cancer services during the pandemic has resulted in a backlog in cancer screening, cancer diagnoses and subsequent delays in cancer treatments.
With early detection being so critical to the successful treatment of cancer, Check4Cancer’s range of affordable, fast access cancer tests offer you a quick and convenient way to take control of your personal health.
You do not need a GP appointment to access these cancer tests and you can avoid the commitment of private medical insurance (PMI) with a one-off cancer check.
As well as benefiting from the privacy of an at-home test, customers of Towergate Employee Benefits can take advantage of a 10% discount on any Check4Cancer test.
