The Importance of Early Cancer Screening – Especially for Men Over 40
By Tharb Faisl
Early Detection Saves Lives – But Many Men Delay Testing. Men are statistically less likely than women to attend regular health check-ups or screenings – but when it comes to cancer, early detection makes all the difference.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we offer private, fast-turnaround cancer screening that’s tailored to your age, lifestyle, and risk profile – all in a discreet, judgement-free environment.

Symptoms That Should Prompt Screening
- Frequent urination, especially at night (prostate)
- Blood in stool or changes in bowel habits (bowel)
- Unexplained fatigue or weight loss
- Persistent bloating or abdominal discomfort
- Skin changes, moles, or lumps
