Galleri®
multi-cancer early detection test

Multi-cancer early detection through a simple blood draw

The Galleri test provides:

Early cancer detection

The Galleri test detects many cancers that do not have routine screening tests, helping you protect your patients’ health.2,3

Simple implementation

Requiring only a single blood draw, the Galleri test offers a convenient way to get screened for cancer signals.

Broad and actionable

The Galleri test detects over 50 types of cancer and predicts the origin of the cancer signal with high accuracy to guide to next steps.3

Actionable results and next steps

The Galleri test detects abnormalities in the methylation patterns of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) that could indicate the presence of cancer.
When a cancer signal is detected, the test identifies the origin of the signal with high accuracy to help guide the next steps to diagnosis. Test results should be available to the ordering healthcare provider within 10 business daysfrom the time the sample arrives at GRAIL’s laboratory.

The Galleri test provides two types of results

No Cancer Signal Detected

The Galleri test does not detect all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. The result of No Cancer Signal Detected” does not rule out cancer.
Continue routine recommended screening + annual Galleri testing4
Cancer Signal Detected
+ Top Predicted Cancer Signal Origin(s)

A test result of Cancer Signal Detected” must be confirmed by diagnostic tests in accordance with standard medical practice.
Diagnostic testing
This could mean that the individual has a cancer that was not identified by the selected follow-up diagnostic procedures, or that the result of the Galleri test is a false positive and that the individual does not have cancer.

Next steps based on healthcare provider’s independent medical judgment.
Cancer confirmed: refer to cancer care

In the event that a diagnostic evaluation after a Cancer Signal Detected” result with the Galleri test does not confirm cancer, patients may be eligible for a complimentary retest with the Galleri test.

The request for a retest must be placed by the healthcare provider managing the patient’s diagnostic evaluation. The retest must be administered within 3 – 6 months after the initial Galleri test. To initiate a request for a retest, the healthcare provider should contact their GRAIL representative or contact GRAIL Customer Service.

The significance of methylation patterns 

In cancer, abnormal methylation patterns and the resulting changes in gene expression can contribute to tumor growth.5 Therefore, certain DNA methylation patterns can serve as a signal of cancer and provide information about the cancer signal’s origin. Through its proprietary methylation technology, the Galleri test can detect the presence of more than 50 types of cancer and predict the origin of the cancer signal with high accuracy.2,3
