Full Body MRI Cancer Screening

With 1 in 3 adults expected to receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, proactive screening can make all the difference. We believe prevention is one of the best ways to reduce cancer deaths and provide peace of mind. Based at our prestigious Harley Street clinic, our cancer screening service offers full body* MRI designed to detect difficult to diagnose cancers early, because early identification means faster treatment and better outcomes.

The cost of this package is £1,995

Why get a full body MRI cancer screening?

With 1 in 3 adults expected to receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, early detection is key. At Phoenix Hospital Group, our full body* MRI cancer screening can identify lesions around 1 centimetre, helping detect these cancers early enough for treatment and peace of mind.

Some cancers including those of the brain, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and ovaries are often called ‘silent cancers’ because they can develop without symptoms and are difficult to detect until it’s too late.

Our dedicated patient advisers are available to answer any queries you may have. Simply contact us below.

*Our full body MRI scan screens you from your head to your upper thighs. The areas analysed include the brain, spine, lungs, colon, prostate, breast, bladder, kidney, liver and pancreas.

How does the full body scan work?

This innovative technology, combined with the expertise of our highly experienced consultant radiologists, means we can detect cancer lesions around 1 centimetre, ensuring early diagnosis of difficult-to-detect cancers and effective treatment.

What does the full body MRI scan look for?

A DWI MRI scan covers the entire body (from the head to the upper thigh). It scans all the vital organs for cancer, including the pancreas, kidney, bladder and spine.

The scan can also detect more common cancers, such as bowel, lung, breast and prostate. However, it does not replace well-established and effective screening programmes, such as CT colonography, mammograms and ultrasounds.

 

Who is the full body cancer scan for?

Patients have many reasons for choosing our full body cancer screening service, but the most common are the peace of mind it provides and the fact that 1 in 3 adults will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.

  • You have lost family and friends to cancer and want peace of mind that you don’t have it
  • You’ve had cancer before, but want reassurance that it hasn’t returned or spread
  • You are committed to staying healthy and want to include a full body cancer scan as part of your annual health screening
  • You are concerned about your health and worried about your current lifestyle

Please note: this scan is not suitable for patients with a cancer diagnosis or who are currently receiving treatment.
