At a semiannual primary care visit, Jack’s doctor mentioned multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing.

Two Cancer Signal Detected results from MCED screening tests taken six months apart helped his care team determine the necessary diagnostics that confirmed an early-stage cancer diagnosis. Listen to Jack’s story to learn more about the impact early cancer detection had on his life.

The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers. Not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur. The Galleri is a screening test and does not diagnose cancer. Diagnostic testing is needed to confirm cancer. The Galleri test should be used in addition to healthcare provider recommended screening tests.
