Planned Aberdeen cancer centre aims for faster diagnosis

Mr Anderson spoke about his own recovery from prostate cancer.

“I was diagnosed in 2018 and in that time you had a biopsy at the Ucan centre and thereafter you had to have an MRI,” he told BBC Scotland News.

“You had to wait about six to seven weeks and then wait to see the consultant after that. The whole process in my case, pre-Covid, took about 11 or 12 weeks.

“A repeat of that, after this unit has been completed, would reduce my time to two days which is incredibly good and far more efficient.”

Ucan chairwoman Justine Royle, an ARI urological consultant, predicted the Sure unit could “significantly” reduce diagnosis times and improve outcomes.
