Get ahead of cancer before symptoms appear

Cancer often hides, with symptoms not appearing until later stages. The earlier that cancer is diagnosed, the greater the chance of successful treatment and survival.1,2,3

Only 5 types of cancer have recommended screening tests4

Today, doctors test individually for 5 specific cancers — colorectal, lung (for those at risk), breast, cervical, and prostate.

More than 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lifetime6

Age is the biggest risk factor for cancer. People over 50 have a 13 times higher risk for cancer than those under 50. Cancer risk increases for everyone as they age, regardless of family history7 — only 5% to 10% of cancers are inherited.7

Certain factors, in addition to age 50+, further increase cancer risk5:

  • Current or previous smokers
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity (BMI > 30)

The Galleri test allows you to go further with cancer screening

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.

The GRAIL clinical laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) and accredited by the College of American Pathologists. The Galleri test was developed and its performance characteristics were determined by GRAIL. The Galleri test has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The GRAIL clinical laboratory is regulated under CLIA to perform high-complexity testing. The Galleri test is intended for clinical purposes.
