Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test
Staying ahead of serious illness starts with proactive screening. We are proud to offer the Galleri® test, a revolutionary blood test that can screen for multiple types of cancer—many of which do not have recommended screening tests today.
Why Consider Galleri®?
Detects signals from over 50 types of cancer, including some of the deadliest forms that often go unnoticed until later stages.
Identifies unique DNA fragments shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream, allowing earlier detection.
Recommended for adults 50 years and older, or for those with elevated cancer risk factors.
Complements—not replaces—standard cancer screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap smears.
How It Works
Simple Blood Draw – A single sample is taken at our office or a partnering lab.
Advanced Analysis – The sample is analyzed for cell-free DNA patterns that may indicate cancer.
Results Shared with Your Provider – Results typically arrive within 2–3 weeks and are reviewed together with your healthcare provider.
Understanding Results
No Cancer Signal Detected – Continue routine screenings as recommended by your provider.
Cancer Signal Detected – Further diagnostic testing is recommended to confirm and identify the source.
Benefits of Early Detection
Catching cancer early dramatically increases the chance of successful treatment and better outcomes. By adding Galleri® to your preventative care plan, you can take a proactive step toward protecting your long-term health.
