The “This Van Can” project saw Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance run four mobile vans which travelled across Greater Manchester. The vans delivered key messages about signs and symptoms, risk factors and screening for a number of cancer types and in some cases offering either a Heartburn Health Check or a PSA test.

The roadshows have now finished.

You can find out more about the roadshows below, including videos and photos and useful links and information for both patients and healthcare professionals.
