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

What do Galleri test results mean?


What does a “Cancer Signal Detected” result mean?


The Galleri test looked for a cancer signal in your blood sample and found one. About 1 out of every 100 tests has a Cancer Signal Detected result.4*

This result also include one or two predictions of the tissue type or organ associated with the cancer signal, called "Cancer Signal Origin."

In a clinical study, around 4 out of 10 people with this result were diagnosed with cancer after diagnostic testing.4

*In the PATHFINDER study2, out of 6,578 participants tested with Galleri, 58 had a Cancer Signal Detected result.

NEXT STEPS

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

What does a “No Cancer Signal Detected” result mean?


The Galleri test looked for a cancer signal in your blood sample and did not find one.

In a clinical study, less than 2% of individuals with a No Cancer Signal Detected result had cancer.1,4
 

This result does not completely rule out the possibility of cancer. The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. 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 a delayed diagnosis.

The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers, and false positive or false negative results can occur.

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
