Galleri is a multi-cancer early detection test that uses a single blood draw to screen for over 50 types of cancer. It is recommended for adults aged 50 or older who are at an elevated risk for cancer. Galleri is not a diagnostic test and does not detect all cancers. A positive result requires confirmatory diagnostic evaluation by medically established procedures (e.g., imaging) to confirm cancer.
