Tests and Screening

If you have any symptoms that may be caused by cancer, your GP can refer you for tests to find out more. 
Screening aims to detect cancer at a very early stage or find changes in cells which could become cancerous if not treated.

Screening programmes for breast and cervical cancers are well established within the Peninsula. There is a Peninsula wide breast cancer screening group and the minutes and agenda are available on this web-site. Bowel cancer screening is in place in South Devon and Plymouth and is starting in Exeter and Truro to offer the national screening programme throughout the Peninsula.
