How Does the Galleri Test Work?
Early traces of cancer can be found in the blood. When the Galleri test detects a cancer signal, it predicts with high accuracy (93%) where in the body the signal may be coming from. This is called a Cancer Signal Origin.
The Galleri test can help your healthcare provider focus follow-up testing which may help you avoid unnecessary tests and indicate a clearer path to answers.
The Galleri test can find some of the most aggressive cancer types before symptoms appear including:
- Anus
- Bladder
- Colon/rectum
- Esophagus
- Head and neck
- Liver/bile duct
- Lung
- Lymphoma
- Ovary
- Pancreas
- Plasma cell neoplasm
- Stomach

Understanding the Test Results

There are two possible results:
— No Cancer Signal Detected
— Cancer Signal Detected
Nearly 99% of people who use the Galleri test will screen negative — which is exactly what you want to hear. Continue with routine cancer screening tests your healthcare provider recommends.
If a cancer signal is found, results also can predict the tissue type or organ associated with the cancer signal. This vital information can help guide your healthcare provider with the next steps.
How Often Should You Take The Galleri Test?
- The Galleri test can be taken annually.8,9 Deadly cancers can develop at any time and progress quickly, sometimes in less than a year. Adding the Galleri test to recommended single-cancer screenings may help detect more cancers at an early stage (based on modeled data). Galleri is a test that identifies DNA shed by cancer cells and screens for cancer at the time of testing. The Galleri test is not a hereditary screening test and does not predict your future genetic risk for cancer.
