Optional Services
Galleri
There are currently only 5 cancers that have recommended screening tests: breast, colon, cervical, prostate and lung.
Galleri is a multicancer early detection test (MCED). It is a blood test that screens for a signal shared by 50+ cancers on cell-free DNA. These signals can be present at a very early stage, which helps increase cancer detection, early treatment and hopefully improved outcomes. If the cancer signal is detected, Galleri predicts the tissue type or organ associated with the signal with 88% accuracy. This helps guide the work up through labs and imaging. The test is not recommended for patients with symptoms of cancer.
Galleri does not detect all cancers and all cancers cannot be detected in the blood. The test screens for active cancer and does not predict your risk for future cancer. The test is recommended for adults with an elevated risk for cancer and those age 50 or older.
This test does not replace current recommended screening tests. It is a tool for early detection for many cancers we have no screening for. Although low, there can be false positive test results meaning you test positive but there is no cancer found. For further information, talk with your physician to determine if this is an appropriate test for you. Galleri is currently not covered by insurance. This optional test is $1000.00.
