Nova Pan-Cancer Screening

One Patient.
Multiple Risks.
Smart Screening.

Your age, family history, lifestyle, previous health information and other relevant factors can tell a different story about your cancer risk. Nova Precision AI brings these signals together into a human-centred, AI-powered screening pathway - designed around you, not just one test.

The Nova idea

Move from “Which test should I do?” to “What does my risk profile tell us?”

Cancer screening is not one universal package. Different cancers have different evidence, screening tests, age ranges and risk groups. Nova’s approach is to bring the relevant patient information together first, then help identify the screening pathway that needs discussion with a clinician.

One patient.
One integrated view.
One informed pathway.
For patients

What is cancer screening?

Screening looks for signs of cancer or pre-cancer in people who may not have symptoms. A screening result is not the same as a diagnosis.

01

Screening

Used before symptoms appear to identify people who may need a particular screening test or closer evaluation

02

Diagnostic testing

If symptoms or an abnormal screening result are present, diagnostic tests may be needed to find out what is actually happening

03

Follow-up

An abnormal result does not automatically mean cancer. Appropriate follow-up may include repeat testing, imaging, examination or biopsy

How it works

A human-guided, AI-assisted screening journey

AI can help organise complex information and identify patterns. It should support - not replace - clinical judgement.

01

Know you

Capture age, sex, family history, lifestyle, previous conditions and relevant clinical information

02

Assess risk

AI-assisted analysis organises relevant risk signals into an understandable patient profile

03

Match screening

Identify screening or surveillance options that may be relevant to your risk group

04

Review results

Results are interpreted in context rather than viewed as isolated numbers or reports

05

Navigate next

Know what to discuss, what may need follow-up and when clinical review is appropriate

Organ-wise screening guide

Understand screening by cancer type

Not every cancer has a routine screening test for people at average risk. Some pathways are intended only for selected high-risk groups.

Breast Cancer

Established screening

Screening can find breast cancer before a person notices symptoms. The right test and interval depend on age, risk and local guidance

  • Mammography is a key population screening tool
  • Higher-risk individuals may need a different pathway
  • A new lump or concerning breast change needs clinical assessment
Nova AI lens: age + family history + previous breast findings + risk factors

Cervical Cancer

Established screening

Cervical screening looks for HPV infection and/or abnormal cervical cells before cancer develops

  • HPV testing and cervical cytology are used in different programmes
  • Intervals vary by age, test and national guidelines
  • Screening is different from investigating symptoms
Nova AI lens: age + prior screening + HPV history + relevant clinical factors

Colorectal Cancer

Established screening

Screening can detect colorectal cancer early and can also identify precancerous polyps

  • Stool-based tests and colonoscopy are common approaches
  • Age and family history affect the pathway
  • Blood in stool or persistent bowel changes need medical review
Nova AI lens: age + family history + bowel history + previous findings

Lung Cancer

Selected high-risk groups

Low-dose CT is used for lung cancer screening in selected people at increased risk, particularly based on age and smoking history

  • Not intended as a routine scan for everyone
  • Smoking exposure is a major risk factor
  • Persistent respiratory symptoms require clinical evaluation
Nova AI lens: smoking exposure + age + risk factors + relevant clinical history

Prostate Cancer

Individual decision

PSA-based screening is not a one-size-fits-all test. The potential benefits and harms should be discussed with a clinician

  • Age and family history can influence the conversation
  • PSA can be elevated for reasons other than cancer
  • Further testing may be needed after an abnormal result
Nova AI lens: age + family history + previous PSA results + clinical context

Liver Cancer

High-risk surveillance

Regular surveillance is relevant to selected people with chronic liver disease or other recognised high-risk conditions

  • Surveillance is not the same as population screening
  • Risk is strongly influenced by the underlying liver condition
  • Ultrasound-based surveillance may be used in selected groups
Nova AI lens: liver disease + viral hepatitis + cirrhosis + relevant risk factors

Oral & Head/Neck

No routine population test

There is no established universal screening test for all asymptomatic adults. Suspicious oral or head/neck changes should be assessed promptly

  • Persistent mouth ulcers or lumps need evaluation
  • Tobacco and alcohol exposure increase risk
  • Clinical examination can be important when concerns arise
Nova AI lens: symptoms + tobacco/alcohol exposure + clinical history

Pancreatic Cancer

Selected high-risk groups

Routine screening is not recommended for average-risk people. Surveillance may be considered in selected hereditary or familial high-risk groups

  • Family history and inherited syndromes can matter
  • High-risk surveillance is specialist-led
  • New persistent symptoms require medical evaluation
Nova AI lens: family history + inherited risk + relevant clinical history

Ovarian Cancer

No routine population test

For women at average risk without symptoms, routine screening with CA-125 or ultrasound has not been shown to provide a net benefit

  • Inherited risk may change the pathway
  • Persistent symptoms need medical assessment
  • High-risk management is different from population screening
Nova AI lens: family history + inherited risk + symptoms + clinical context

Skin Cancer

No routine population test

Routine whole-population screening is not established. Knowing your skin and getting suspicious changes checked can be important

  • Watch for changing, bleeding or unusual lesions
  • Sun exposure and individual risk can matter
  • Suspicious lesions should be clinically assessed
Nova AI lens: personal risk factors + lesion history + relevant clinical information

Stomach Cancer

Country/risk dependent

Routine screening recommendations vary substantially by country and baseline risk. Some high-incidence regions have organised programmes

  • Risk varies by geography and population
  • Family history and certain gastric conditions can matter
  • Persistent upper-GI symptoms need evaluation
Nova AI lens: family history + geography + gastric history + symptoms

Thyroid Cancer

No routine population test

Routine screening of asymptomatic adults is not generally recommended. A thyroid lump or concerning symptom needs clinical assessment

  • Neck lump or enlargement should be evaluated
  • Previous neck radiation may affect risk
  • Ultrasound is generally diagnostic rather than a population screening test
Nova AI lens: symptoms + prior radiation + family history + clinical context
Your risk profile

Risk is more than one number

A useful risk profile brings together the information that may change what screening or clinical assessment is appropriate.

What can shape your cancer risk?

AgeRisk changes across life
Family historySome cancers cluster in families
Inherited riskSome genetic variants increase risk
TobaccoSmoking and other tobacco exposure matter
AlcoholAlcohol exposure contributes to risk for several cancers
EnvironmentSome occupational or environmental exposures matter
Previous diseaseCertain chronic conditions alter risk
Previous cancerSurveillance can differ from screening

Do not wait for screening if you have symptoms

Screening is generally designed for people without symptoms. If you notice a persistent lump, unexplained bleeding, blood in stool or urine, a persistent cough or voice change, unexplained weight loss, a changing mole, difficulty swallowing, or another concerning change, seek medical advice rather than waiting for a screening appointment.

The Nova difference

Human expertise. AI intelligence. Patient at the centre.

Nova Precision AI describes its approach as personalised, precision-driven cancer care and provides screening and navigation services. This page translates that philosophy into a patient-friendly screening experience.

AI-assisted understanding

Relevant information can be structured and analysed to help create a clearer risk-informed view

Human clinical oversight

Screening choices, abnormal findings and next steps require appropriate clinical judgement

Navigation beyond the test

The goal is not simply to order tests - it is to help patients understand what the result means and what may come next
