About this test

The Female Cancer Risk package is aimed at women aged 40 and over and combines tests that may flag signs associated with bowel, cervical and stomach cancer, specifically a qFIT bowel cancer risk test, an HPV cervical cancer risk test and an H. pylori stomach cancer risk test, alongside a wider set of 35 biomarkers covering blood health, bone health, cholesterol, kidney and liver function, lung function, thyroid function and urinalysis. Bluecrest is explicit that none of these tests are diagnostic on their own; any abnormal result would need further investigation by a GP or other healthcare provider.

At 35 biomarkers, this places in the 89th percentile for clinical depth among the cancer screening tests we track, one of the broader packages in that category. There are no directly comparable packages in our data to benchmark the £319 price against, so we cannot say whether it is expensive or good value relative to peers.

Results and follow-up score well here relative to most of Bluecrest's range, because this package includes a doctor review and a private GP consultation by phone or webcam to talk through your results, plus access to specialist cancer nursing support through Perci Health if any cancer-risk result comes back amber or red.

Who is it for?

This suits women aged 40 and over who want a wide screen across several cancer-risk areas alongside a general health check, and who value having a GP consultation to talk through the results rather than reading a report alone. Bluecrest does not recommend this package under age 40, citing a higher chance of false positive and false negative results in younger women. If your main interest is heart disease and stroke risk specifically, the Female Cancer + Complete version adds an ECG, peripheral arterial disease check and Lipoprotein(a) test on top, for £519 total.

How it works

Collection is mixed: a venous blood draw is taken at a local Bluecrest venue, alongside at-home self-collection kits for tests such as the bowel and cervical cancer risk markers. Once your samples are processed, Bluecrest states results are returned in around 3 to 8 days. Results are reviewed by a doctor, and you get a private consultation by phone or webcam to discuss them; if any cancer-risk result is amber or red, you also get access to specialist cancer nursing support through Perci Health at no extra cost.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Includes a doctor review and a private GP consultation by phone or webcam, unlike most of Bluecrest's individual tests.
  • Covers 35 biomarkers across cancer-risk and general health in one package.
  • Access to specialist cancer nursing support through Perci Health if a cancer-risk result comes back amber or red.
  • Combines at-home self-collection kits with a venous blood draw rather than requiring multiple separate bookings.

Cons

  • Not recommended for women under 40 because of a higher risk of false positive and false negative results.
  • No comparable package in our data to check whether £319 is good value.
  • None of the cancer-risk tests are diagnostic on their own; abnormal results need further GP investigation.
