Preventive Screening
Most cancers are still caught late, when treatment options are more limited and outcomes are less favorable. The Galleri test is a blood-based screening tool that looks for a signal shared across more than 50 types of cancer, many of which have no routine screening test available today, giving patients and physicians an early signal to act on well before symptoms appear.
How Galleri Works
With a single blood draw, the Galleri test screens for a cancer signal across the body. If a signal is detected, the test predicts its likely origin with high accuracy, helping guide the next diagnostic steps with your physician. It’s designed to work alongside your existing screening routine, not replace it.
Who Should Consider Galleri
Galleri is recommended for adults with an elevated risk of cancer, including those aged 50 and older. It’s intended to supplement, not replace, other screenings your physician already recommends, and it does not detect all cancers or measure your genetic risk of developing cancer in the future.
