If you have a new lump, unexplained bleeding, a significant change in health, or any urgent concern, please contact a qualified clinician promptly. CancerSpot does not provide urgent assessment, diagnosis or treatment advice through this website.

Is CancerSpot the suitable route?

Begin with the family-health question

CancerSpot may be a helpful starting point when you want to understand whether a hereditary cancer-health conversation could be relevant not when you need a diagnosis today.

CancerSpot may help you explore

  • A family history of cancer that raises questions you want to understand better.
  • Whether hereditary context may be worth discussing with the right professional.
  • How a genetic health report may support a more informed next conversation.

Seek clinical advice promptly if

  • You have symptoms, an urgent concern or an existing cancer diagnosis.
  • You are deciding on screening, treatment, surgery or prescribed medication.
  • You already have a clinician directing your care and need immediate medical guidance.
