Galleri® Test: Early Cancer Screening
Revolutionizing Early Cancer Detection with Galleri
Dr. Watson at WellCentric Health in Reno, NV, is pioneering a new chapter in cancer care. Introducing the Galleri test – a groundbreaking advancement in cancer screening technology. This revolutionary test can detect over 50 types of cancer through just one blood sample, significantly enhancing early detection capabilities. This technology goes beyond the capabilities of traditional screening methods, offering a more comprehensive overview of your health.
What is the Galleri test?
Galleri is a pioneering tool in cancer detection. It operates by identifying a shared cancer signal found in more than 50 different types of cancer. However, it’s important to note that Galleri is a screening test and not a diagnostic tool. If the test indicates the presence of a cancer signal, further testing is necessary to confirm a cancer diagnosis.
The Galleri test has only a 0.5% chance of producing a false positive, making it a reliable tool in cancer detection. Studies show that widespread use of this test could potentially prevent up to 40% of cancer deaths annually in the U.S.
Who Can Benefit from Galleri?
The Galleri test is a beacon of hope in early cancer detection. It’s specially designed for adults over 50, a demographic at a higher risk for cancer. With Galleri, we can now look beyond the limits of traditional screenings, identifying cancers that were previously difficult to detect.
Statistics show that individuals in this age group are 13 times more likely to develop cancer compared to those under 50. Additionally, cancer risk increases with age regardless of family history, as only a small percentage of cancers are inherited.
Galleri is designed to complement, not replace, other cancer screening tests.
Proactive Cancer Screening Saves Lives
Incorporating the Galleri test into your health regimen allows you to take a proactive approach to cancer screening. This test is particularly crucial considering that about three-quarters of new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths are due to cancers that currently have no recommended screening.
