Galleri is a multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test that looks for a cancer signal across more than 50 types of cancer. It's a screening test, which means that while it does not diagnose cancer, it can improve your chance of finding it early.
Request the test
Receive a collection kit
If the Recuro Health telemedicine physician confirms you are eligible and orders Galleri, you will receive a notification via email. Then, you can schedule a blood draw at one of GRAIL’s blood draw partners. You will receive a collection kit in the mail to take with you to your appointment.
Provide your sample
The trained technician that draws your blood sample will ship the kit to the GRAIL lab.
Receive your results
Recuro Health will reach out when your results are ready — about 2 weeks after your blood is received at the GRAIL laboratory. Your test result will be shared with you by Recuro Health.
You will receive your test result about two weeks after your blood sample is received at the GRAIL lab.
There are two possible results:
- No Cancer Signal Detected
- Cancer Signal Detected
Galleri looks for a cancer signal shared by more than 50 cancer types.1 You will not receive a list of the 50+ types of cancer and a result for each one.
If Galleri detects a cancer signal, your result will include one or two Cancer Signal Origins which predict the tissue type or organ associated with the cancer signal.
The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur.
The Galleri test is available as an included benefit to employees enrolled in an Okta medical plan and covered spouses/partners that are 50+ or 40-49 with elevated risk factors.
The test is covered by Okta with no out of pocket expense for the employee. Any additional testing would be subject to regular medical plan processing and cost structure.
At least one of the following:
-OR-
At least two of the following:
*excludes basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
**excludes basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and/or the second cancer is not a recurrence or metastasis
Your Access ID is your Employee ID, which can be found in Workday.

The Galleri test is a screening test for asymptomatic adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older. Galleri detects a signal shared by multiple cancers; when a Cancer Signal is Detected, Galleri predicts Cancer Signal Origin to guide diagnostic evaluation.
The Galleri test looks for active cancer and does not predict future genetic risk for cancer.
All cells in your body, including cancer cells, release DNA fragments into the bloodstream. These fragments are called cell-free DNA. The Galleri test screens your blood sample for cell-free DNA and identifies whether it comes from healthy or cancer cells. Cell-free DNA from cancer cells also contains information about the organ or tissue of origin. The process uses advanced technology and pattern recognition to detect a Cancer Signal and predict the Cancer Signal Origin. This information helps guide healthcare providers to perform a diagnostic evaluation for cancer.
Cancer risk increases for everyone as they age, regardless of family history—only 5% to 10% of cancers are inherited.
Age is the biggest risk factor for cancer. In fact, adults over age 50 are 13 times more likely to have cancer compared to people under the age of 50.
Galleri detects a signal shared by multiple cancers, in a clinical study, Galleri detected a signal shared by over 50 types of cancer —including some fast-spreading and deadly cancers responsible for approximately two-thirds of cancer deaths.The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur.
Most people who take the Galleri test will receive a “No Cancer Signal Detected” result. A “Cancer Signal Detected” result is expected in approximately 1% of Galleri tests in people over 50 years of age.
The Galleri test accuracy is measured through Positive Predictive Value and False Positive Rates.
Positive Predictive Value (PPV) is the probability that a person with a “Cancer Signal Detected” test result has cancer.
A False Positive is a test result that indicates that a person has a specific disease or condition when the person actually does not have the disease or condition.
In a recent study, the PPV was 43.1% for study participants with a Cancer Signal Detected result who were diagnosed with cancer. The False Positive Rate was 0.5% for participants without cancer. Galleri is a screening test and does not diagnose cancer. Diagnostic testing is needed to confirm cancer.
No, Galleri is not a genetic risk assessment test. A genetic risk assessment is a one time measurement and assesses the future risk of developing cancer. Genetic tests may look at DNA and assess lifelong risk for cancer but cannot detect if a person currently has cancer.
The Galleri test looks for a signal associated with active cancer at the time of your blood draw. Regularly using the Galleri test, alongside recommended cancer screenings, can increase your chance of detecting cancer early.
No, the Galleri test is only commercially available in the US.

The Galleri test detected a signal associated with cancer. This result will also include one or two predictions of the tissue type or organ associated with the cancer signal, called “Cancer Signal Origin.”
Results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider. This test result is not a cancer diagnosis and requires follow-up diagnostic testing which may include lab work or imaging ordered by your healthcare provider. GRAIL also offers patients and providers additional support and resources if needed to help guide next steps.The Galleri test looked for a cancer signal in your blood sample and did not find one. This result does not completely rule out the possibility of cancer. The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. Continue with routine cancer screenings your healthcare provider recommends.
A Galleri result of No Cancer Signal Detected does not rule out cancer.
The Galleri test is intended to be used in addition to, and not replace, other cancer screening tests your healthcare provider recommends. Single-cancer screening tests are recommended because they have been proven to save lives by detecting cancer early. Using Galleri in addition to recommended single-cancer screenings can increase your chances of detecting cancer early, to allow for earlier treatment.
Galleri does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood.

The Galleri test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older. The Galleri test does not detect all cancers and should be used in addition to routine cancer screening tests recommended by a healthcare provider. Galleri is intended to detect cancer signals and predict where in the body the cancer signal is located. Use of Galleri is not recommended in individuals who are pregnant, 21 years old or younger, or undergoing active cancer treatment.
Results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of medical history, clinical signs and symptoms. A test result of No Cancer Signal Detected does not rule out cancer. A test result of Cancer Signal Detected requires confirmatory diagnostic evaluation by medically established procedures (e.g. imaging) to confirm cancer.
If cancer is not confirmed with further testing, it could mean that cancer is not present or testing was insufficient to detect cancer, including due to the cancer being located in a different part of the body. False-positive (a cancer signal detected when cancer is not present) and false-negative (a cancer signal not detected when cancer is present) test results do occur. Rx only.
