Manx Lung Cancer Screening Program
 

Lung Cancer Screen

​

Pathway for the Manx Lung Cancer Screening Program

Initial Pathway

​

Step 1: Your First Consultation and Risk Assessment

​

​

​​Step 2: Diagnostic Action

  • Trigger: If the risk assessment from either of the two calculators meets the threshold to trigger a screen.

  • Action: The patient proceeds to receive a Low-Dose CT (LDCT) scan.

 

Step 3: Follow-up and Subsequent Imaging

  • Subsequent Action: Following the LDCT, the patient proceeds to a CT scan (if required by the subsequent algorithm).

  • Follow-up: The patient meets with the same professional  to follow up and review the results according to the established algorithm.

​

If your results indicate a concern:

  • We can arrange urgent imaging (CT, MRI, PET) when required.

  • We liaise with your existing cancer specialists to ensure continuity of care.

  • You receive clear guidance on treatment pathways.

  • Ongoing support is available throughout your cancer journey.

​

If your results are reassuring:

  • We discuss whether continued screening would be beneficial.

  • We advise on appropriate intervals for future testing.

  • You gain confidence knowing you are taking proactive steps toward early detection.

Step 1: Your First Consultation

You can book online or get in touch with our team directly.

During this appointment, we will:

  • Explore your medical background and any current symptoms or concerns.

  • Help you identify which cancer‑related blood tests may be appropriate for you.

  • Clearly outline what each test can and cannot detect.

  • Review all costs so you have complete transparency from the start.

  • Answer your questions about cancer screening, genetic testing, or ongoing monitoring.

  • Support you in deciding whether cancer blood testing is the right choice for you.

Step 2: Taking Your Blood Sample

Most blood tests are arranged within 48 hours of your consultation.

Where your sample can be taken:
The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Private Clinic, 65 Pembroke Place, Liverpool, L7 8YA, UK

What happens during the appointment:

  • A routine blood draw, similar to any standard blood test.

  • The procedure takes only a few minutes.

  • Your sample is sent directly to the laboratory for specialist analysis.

  • If your test requires a tissue sample (for certain genetic analyses), we will coordinate this with your hospital—no additional procedures are required from you.

Step 3: Specialist Laboratory Testing

Your sample is examined using advanced technologies that may include:

  • Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) analysis

  • Circulating tumour cell detection

  • Tumour marker assessment

  • Comprehensive genetic profiling

All tests are carried out in accredited laboratories with rigorous quality controls.

Typical turnaround time: 7–14 days, depending on the specific test.

Step 4: Your Results Appointment

During your results consultation, we will:

  • Talk through your results in clear, understandable language.

  • Explain what the findings mean in relation to your risk, diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring.

  • Discuss how the results apply to your personal situation.

  • Advise on any recommended next steps, such as imaging, biopsies, treatment planning, or future screening.

  • Provide a written report for you to share with your NHS or private healthcare team.

 

If your results indicate a concern:

  • We can arrange urgent imaging (CT, MRI, PET) when required.

  • We liaise with your existing cancer specialists to ensure continuity of care.

  • You receive clear guidance on treatment pathways.

  • Ongoing support is available throughout your cancer journey.

​If your results are reassuring:

  • We discuss whether continued screening would be beneficial.

  • We advise on appropriate intervals for future testing.

  • You gain confidence knowing you are taking proactive steps toward early detection.
