Rapid Cancer Diagnostic Service

The RCDS specialises in speeding up the process of diagnosis for patients with vague symptoms which could indicate cancer. Most of the patients referred to us will not have cancer and our aim is to rule this out, as quickly as possible.

You can find out more information about the service in the tabs below.
