Innovation first
At HCA Healthcare UK, we use the latest research and innovative genetic testing to help determine the most effective course of treatment.
World-class genetic testing
Sarah Cannon Molecular Diagnostics
Our pioneering laboratory helps cancer patients to get the treatment that's right for them based on genetic analysis.
Preimplantation genetic screening
At the The Lister Fertility Clinic, we can screen embryos for abnormalities in chromosomes before transfer.
Finding the best course of care
Our groundbreaking work in genetic analysis helps our consultants to determine the course of treatment that may be most effective for each individual patient.
It also gives information that may be useful in identifying potential 'off-label treatments' (medicines used in a manner not specified on the label) or clinical trials.
Advancing genetic profiling
Our new genetic profiling laboratory is the result of a collaboration between two internationally recognised facilities: Sarah Cannon Molecular Diagnostics and UCL Advanced Diagnostics, part of the UCL Cancer Institute.
Sarah Cannon has been a clinical trial leader in advancing cancer therapies for over 10 years.
Unrivalled pathology services
Our laboratories combine advanced technology with technical expertise and continual quality monitoring to provide a world-class pathology service.
Covering all disciplines — including allergy, biochemistry and endocrinology, haematology and blood transfusion, histopathology and cytology, immunology, microbiology and serology — each laboratory is equipped with the best available technology.
For patients with metastatic breast cancer, an understanding of tumour genetics will drive new treatments.
