About Us
We believe that one of the best ways to reduce cancer deaths is through prevention. As part of our cancer screening service, we offer Full Body Cancer MRI Screening, used to detect difficult to diagnose cancers, so they can be identified early enough to treat.
A number of cancers can be difficult to detect until it’s too late, as they don’t tend to produce symptoms. These include liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, renal cancer (kidney/bladder), ovarian and brain cancer. Regular and established screening programmes to detect these cancers are not widely available, which is why they often don’t get detected until they are too late to treat. They are often referred to as the ‘silent cancers’ as they are often untreatable and the ones that kill.
At Phoenix Hospital Group, we are proud to offer a full body cancer screening service that can detect cancer lesions as small as 1 centimeters, ensuring they are identified early enough to treat.
The cost is £1,995

Results came through within 5 days and happy to say they were all clear. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends or family.”

Common reasons for having a full body cancer MRI scan include:
Note, the Full Body Cancer MRI Screening is not suitable for those diagnosed with or currently treating cancer.
The screening scans from the head to the upper thigh. The areas analysed include the brain, spine, lungs, colon, prostate, breast, bladder, kidney, liver, and pancreas. The Full Body Cancer MRI Screening can detect cancers as small as 1cm in size.
The Diffusion Whole Body (DWB) MRI scan covers the whole body (from the head down to just the upper thigh). All of the vital organs are scanned for cancer, including the brain, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and spine.
The scan can also detect more common cancers, such as bowel, lungs, breast & prostate, however it is not designed to be a replacement for these well-established and effective screening programmes such as CT colonography, mammogram and ultrasound.
Yes, our specialist cancer screening doctor will have a pre-assessment phone call with you prior to your appointment. They will also review your scan results and provide you with a report. This means you don’t need a referral from your own GP to have the scan.
