Prostate cancer has been all over the news recently — and it’s an important reminder that early detection really does save lives.

A PSA test is often the first sign that something needs a closer look. It’s simple, quick, and can give men the clarity and reassurance they need.

With Check4Cancer, getting a PSA test is easy — you do it at home, and you don’t need a GP referral.

What makes our PSA test different?

✔️ We measure free-to-total PSA, giving clearer insight into whether results may be benign or need further investigation
✔️ Any abnormal results are triaged for onward referral (including to the NHS)
✔️ Kits meet strict UKCA standards for safety, usability and stability
✔️ Kits are sent within 1 working day, with results back within 5 days of return
✔️ All tests are analysed in UK-accredited laboratories
✔️ If your result is abnormal, a specialist cancer nurse will call you personally — to answer questions, reduce anxiety and guide your next steps

If you’re over 40, have a family history, or just want peace of mind, taking action early is one of the strongest things you can do.

Because it’s always better to know.

It’s Men’s Health Awareness Month, a reminder for men to put their health first 💙 Men are less likely than women to seek help for health concerns and too often, cancers are diagnosed at a later stage when treatment can be more complex.

Prostate, bowel and lung cancer are some of the most common cancers affecting men in the UK, but, if they are caught early, outcomes and treatment can be so much better.

That’s why we offer simple, self-pay screening options that men can get done quickly and easily:

✔️ Prostate Cancer Test - an at-home blood test for men aged 40+
✔️ Bowel Cancer Test - a simple at-home kit for people aged 45+
✔️ Lung Cancer Test - a CT scan for those aged 50+ with a strong smoking history

No GP referral required, no long waits, just straightforward answers and expert support from cancer specialists.

Gents, this month, give yourself and your loved ones peace of mind.
Because it's ALWAYS better to know.

Hearing that Davina McCall has been treated for early-stage breast cancer is a reminder to every woman to check their breasts and never ignore appointments. 💗

Most breast cancers are found early because someone noticed a change or attended a screening. Early detection really can make all the difference — it saves lives.

👉 Make self-checks part of your routine.
👉 If you’re due a mammogram, don’t put it off.
👉 And if you notice a change, get it checked.

At Check4Cancer, we offer fast, expert-led breast cancer services to provide peace of mind when you need it most — because it’s always better to know.

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, here’s an important reminder.

Most breast changes aren’t cancer - but knowing what to look out for and acting quickly can make all the difference.

👇 If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t ignore them.
Contact your GP or book an appointment with a diagnostic breast cancer clinic as soon as possible.

When breast cancer is found early, treatment is simpler, recovery is faster - and outcomes are far better.

Let’s keep the message going beyond October: check yourself regularly, attend your screenings, and encourage the women you care about to do the same. 💗

💙 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - and yes, men can get breast cancer too!

While often seen as a woman’s disease, around 350 men in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, most commonly over the age of 60.

Unfortunately, low awareness means many cases are caught late.
But here’s the good news: early detection saves lives.

If you’re a man (or woman) and notice a firm lump behind the ni**le, discharge, or skin changes, don’t ignore it – get checked.

Male breast cancer Usually thought of as a disease seen only in women, male breast cancer is a rare but real risk, most often occurring in men over 60. The disease occurs in a small amount of breast tissue behind men’s ni**les. There are about 350 men diagnosed each year in the UK compared to arou...

☔ ☔☔ This week, the sunshine may seem like a distant memory, but according to the Met Office, summer 2025 has officially become the warmest UK summer on record.

More heat meant more sun exposure, and with it, a higher risk to our skin.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK, with over 250,000 new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosed each year – more than all other cancers combined.

Don’t wait until next summer to think about your skin again. If you have a mole or skin change you’re unsure about, now is the time to take stock.

*September is Urology Awareness Month.* This year, the focus is on bladder leakage - a condition that affects millions. While leakage isn’t always a sign of prostate cancer, changes in urination patterns can be an important reason to check your prostate health.

Unlike many providers, Check4Cancer’s at-home prostate test goes beyond a basic PSA level by measuring free-to-total PSA values. This helps distinguish between benign conditions (like an enlarged prostate) and potential cancer, providing greater accuracy and reducing unnecessary anxiety. Plus, every abnormal result is followed up by a nurse, so you’re never left on your own.
