Rapid Cancer Diagnostic Service
What is the Rapid Cancer Diagnostic Service (RCDS)?
The Rapid Cancer Diagnostic Service (RCDS) is a pathway to investigate patients with vague symptoms which could be cancer. Most of the patients referred to us will not have cancer, and our aim is to rule this out quickly.
