Introducing the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test

Galleri is a blood test that can detect 50+ cancer types and can be taken annually.1,2

The Galleri test is available by prescription only. The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur. The Galleri test should be used in addition to healthcare provider recommended screening tests.

Request the test

It will take about 10 minutes to complete an online health questionnaire about your medical history. The Galleri test, by GRAIL, is available by prescription only. By requesting the test and completing the questionnaire, you’re requesting a prescription from Recuro Health, an independent telemedicine provider.

Receive a collection kit

If the Recuro Health telemedicine provider confirms your eligibility and prescribes the Galleri test, you will receive a notification via email and a collection kit in the mail. Visit Galleri.com/schedule to book your blood draw appointment at a GRAIL blood draw partner.

Provide your sample

Bring your test kit and Test Requisition Form (TRF) with you to the appointment. A trained technician will draw your blood sample and ship the kit to the GRAIL lab.

Receive your results

Recuro Health will contact you when your result is ready — about 2-3 weeks after your blood is received at the GRAIL lab.

What does the Galleri test result mean?


The Galleri test detected DNA fragments associated with cancer in your blood sample. About 1 out of every 100 test has a Cancer Signal Detected result.5

This result will also include a prediction of the issue type or organ associated with the cancer signal, called a Cancer SIgnal Origin (CSO). This provides direction to your doctor on the cancer’s origin and can help guide the next steps for diagnosis.2,8

In a clinical study, around 6 out of 10 people with a Cancer Signal Detected result were diagnosed with cancer after diagnostic testing.13*

NEXT STEPS

A Cancer Signal Detected test result is not a cancer diagnosis and requires follow-up diagnostic testing. Such testing may include lab work or imagining ordered by your healthcare provider to confirm cancer. 

*Based on the first ~25,000 participants with 1 year of follow-up. 

The Galleri test did not detect DNA fragments associated with cancer in your blood sample. 

Nearly 99% of people who use the Galleri test will screen negative.

This result does not completely rule out the possibility of cancer. While the Galleri test is a powerful tool, it cannot detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. Some cancers shed little or no DNA into the bloodstream, making them unlikely to be detected through a blood test (e.g., brain, skin, and early-stage breast and prostate cancers).14 False positive and false negative results do occur. This result does not predict whether you will develop cancer in the future.

NEXT STEPS

Continue with any routine cancer screenings your healthcare provider recommends. Do not ignore cancer signs or symptoms if they occur, as this could lead to delayed diagnosis. 

Cancer can be unpredictable. The Galleri test can be taken as a simple blood test. Adding the Galleri test to an annual routine can improve your chance of finding cancer early.12

CancerNavigator

EAS Carpenters Benefit Funds partners with CancerNavigator to ensure that members with a positive signal on their Galleri test have the support they need for diagnostic testing and next steps. CancerNavigator's dedicated Oncology Nurse Navigators can answer questions members may have related to a suspected or confirmed diagnosis, and can provide education and guidance at every step.

The Galleri test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those age 50 or older. The test does not detect all cancers and should be used in addition to routine cancer screening tests recommended by a healthcare provider. The Galleri test is intended to detect cancer signals and predict where in the body the cancer signal is located. Use of the test 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
