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*

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

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.

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.

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.5 

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

Cancer screening with Galleri can make a difference

Galleri looks for many deadly cancers before symptoms appear from a single blood draw and identifies a unique “fingerprint” of 50+ cancers, including many without a recommended screening available today.

Cancers growing in the body shed DNA into the bloodstream.3,6,7 Although there are many types of cancer, the DNA fragments can act like a unique “fingerprint” of cancer. The Galleri test screens for many of the deadliest cancers, often before they become symptomatic, including those without recommended screening tests.1,3,5 When there is a Cancer Signal Detected result, a predicted Cancer Signal Origin8 will also be included to help your healthcare provider determine the next steps for diagnosis.

More than 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lifetime.9 People over the age of 50 have a 13 times higher risk for cancer than those under 50.10 Cancer risk increases for everyone as they age, regardless of family history10 — only 5% to 10% of cancers are inherited.10,11 

The Galleri test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older. Talk to your provider about your risk for cancer and whether the Galleri test is right for you.

In a clinical study, the Galleri test detected a signal shared by over 50 types of cancer — including some fast-spreading and aggressive cancers responsible for approximately two-thirds of cancer deaths.3 Galleri is a cancer screening test, meaning it looks for cancer before symptoms appear.5 The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. 

See the list of cancer types study participants had when a cancer signal was detected.6 

False positive and false negative results do occur.

Nearly 99% of people who take the Galleri test will receive a No Cancer Signal Detected result. A Cancer Signal Detected result is expected in approximately 1% of Galleri tests in people over 50 years of age. After diagnostic evaluation, around 40% of these people are expected to have a confirmed cancer diagnosis.5 

Some of the ways we measure test accuracy is with positive predictive value (PPV) and a false positive rate. A PPV is the probability that a person with a Cancer Signal Detected test result has cancer. In a recent study, the PPV was 43.1% for study participants with a Cancer Signal Detected result who were diagnosed with cancer.5 The false positive rate was 0.5% for participants without cancer.3,5

No, a genetic or hereditary risk assessment is a one-time-only measurement that assesses your future risk of developing cancer. The Galleri test is a point-in-time test that identifies DNA in the bloodstream shed by cancer cells and screens for cancer at the time of testing.

The test is only available in the US at this time.

On-site events: Your test result from the blood draw event will be delivered in 2-3 weeks. Your result will be communicated to you from the ordering provider at the event. Some samples may take more or less time to process so not all test results will be released on the same day. 

Your test result can be requested by contacting GRAIL Customer Service by calling (833) 694‑2553.

The Galleri test detected DNA methylation patterns that are often associated with cancer in your blood sample. About 1 out of every 100 tests has a Cancer Signal Detected result.5 

This result will also include a prediction of the tissue type or organ associated with the cancer signal, called a Cancer Signal Origin. This helps your doctor determine the next steps for diagnosis. 

Results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider. This 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. GRAIL also offers patients and providers additional support and resources if needed to help guide next steps. 

False positive results do occur.

The Galleri test looked for a cancer signal in your blood sample and did not find one. 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. Continue with routine cancer screenings your healthcare provider recommends. 

A Galleri test result of No Cancer Signal Detected does not rule out cancer.

The Galleri test is intended to be used in addition to, and not replace, other cancer screening tests your healthcare provider recommends. Single-cancer screening tests are recommended because they have been proven to save lives by detecting cancer early. Using the Galleri test in addition to recommended single-cancer screenings can increase your chances of detecting cancer early, to allow for earlier treatment.

The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood.

A Cancer Signal Detected test result is not a cancer diagnosis. A Cancer Signal Detected result requires follow-up diagnostic testing, which may include lab work or imaging ordered by your healthcare provider. GRAIL also offers patients and providers additional support and resources if needed to help guide next steps.

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
