As Featured In
Cancer screening should match the organ, risk and clinical question being assessed. MEC offers targeted breast, bowel, lung, prostate, gynaecological and testicular pathways, alongside a separate whole-body MRI and Trucheck option.
A doctor reviews the completed findings and explains whether monitoring or further specialist assessment is appropriate. Screening does not replace assessment of new or worsening symptoms.
Advanced Whole-Body Cancer Screening
This package combines full body MRI with the Trucheck blood test and a doctor-led results review. The clinic explains the purpose and limitations of both investigations before booking.
Full Body MRI Scan: Detailed imaging from head to thigh to detect solid tumours and structural abnormalities.
Trucheck™ Early Cancer Screen: A circulating-tumour-cell blood test used as part of the combined screening pathway.
In-person Doctor Review: Detailed results review and clinical examination with a senior GP at our practice.
Comprehensive Blood Panel: Analysis of essential biomarkers, tumour markers, and organ function.
12 Months Private GP Access: Ongoing support with our clinical team for a full year after your screening.
Physical Examination & ECG: Full clinical assessment of cardiovascular and systemic health.
Why Early Detection Matters
Most cancers do not cause symptoms in their earliest stages. By the time physical changes are noticeable, the disease may have already progressed. Early detection through advanced screening allows for interventions when treatment options are widest and outcomes are significantly improved.
Our clinic has been at the forefront of preventative medicine since 1984. We combine forty years of clinical experience with the latest diagnostic breakthroughs to give our patients total peace of mind.

Common questions
Q.What is the Trucheck™ blood test?
Trucheck™ is a circulating-tumour-cell blood test offered within the combined whole-body screening pathway. It is a screening investigation, not a diagnosis, and your doctor will explain its limitations before you proceed.
Q.How long does the whole-body screening take?
The comprehensive whole-body screen typically takes between 2 to 4 hours. This includes your clinical consultation, physical examination, blood tests, ECG, and the Full Body MRI scan.
Q.Is the MRI scan safe?
Yes, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, it does not use ionizing radiation, making it very safe for routine screening.
Q.How do I get my results?
Once all your tests and imaging reports are complete (usually within 7-14 days), you will have a dedicated, in-person results review appointment with your doctor. They will explain every finding in plain English and provide personalized recommendations.
