What is the Galleri Cancer Screening Test?
The Benefits of the Galleri Cancer Screening Test
Early Cancer Detection
One of the primary benefits of the Galleri cancer screening test is its ability to detect multiple types of cancers early, potentially before symptoms arise. Early detection is critical in fighting cancer as it often leads to more treatment options and better outcomes.
Comprehensive Screening
The Galleri test can identify over 50 types of cancer, making it one of the most comprehensive cancer screening tests available today. This extensive coverage is particularly beneficial for cancers that do not have specific screening tests.
Simple and Non-Invasive
The Galleri test is performed using a simple blood draw, making it a non-invasive procedure. This simplicity can lead to more regular screening, leading to better early detection rates.

Understanding Your Results
The Galleri cancer screening test does not replace traditional cancer screening methods but complements them by covering a wide range of cancers that may not be detected through standard screening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should get the Galleri cancer screening test?
The Galleri cancer screening test is recommended for individuals with an increased risk of cancer, particularly those aged 50 and above. However, it can be beneficial for anyone interested in an early detection strategy for multiple cancers.
How often should I get the Galleri test?
The recommended frequency of testing can vary based on individual risk factors. Your healthcare provider at Beso Wellness and Beauty can help determine the most appropriate schedule for you.
Does a positive result mean I definitely have cancer?
A positive result does not confirm a cancer diagnosis but indicates a signal was detected that may be associated with cancer. If a cancer signal is found, we recommend further diagnostic testing under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
Is the Galleri test a replacement for other cancer screenings?
The Galleri test is not a replacement for traditional cancer screenings, but it is a powerful supplemental tool. It covers many types of cancer that currently lack specific screening tests, enhancing your comprehensive health check strategy.
How accurate is the Galleri test?
The Galleri test has demonstrated high accuracy in detecting many types of cancer in clinical studies. However, like all medical tests, there is a chance for false positives or negatives. It’s crucial to discuss the results with your healthcare provider for a complete understanding.
What if the Galleri test predicts the wrong tissue of origin for the detected cancer signal?
The Galleri test offers a high probability of correctly identifying the tissue of origin when a cancer signal is detected. However, if a discrepancy arises between the predicted tissue of origin and the findings from follow-up diagnostic testing, your healthcare provider will guide you on the appropriate next steps.
Can the Galleri test detect all stages of cancer?
The Galleri test is designed to detect cancer at all stages. However, like all tests, detection rates can vary by cancer type and stage. Early-stage cancers may not always release enough DNA into the bloodstream for detection.
