Cancer Testing Services CIC

The mission statement of Cancer Testing Services CIC

Community service is paramount in our approach to providing families with both awareness and possible solutions to all too common cancers and the problems that they can bring. 

  The awareness and detection work of Cancer Testing Services CIC is driven by a passion to find early indications of prostate cancer in men and also aims to lead to the uncovering of any other cancers, regardless of gender, that, through testing with a simple blood test, might assist in this early detection and the possibility of saving or extending life.  

We aim to learn, educate and use knowledge, to reduce death from prostate and other cancers that affect adults in the community and will reduce the impact upon the wider families that cancer complications and deaths provide.

Shooting Star Children's Hospices is a leading children’s hospice charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families.
