Galleri® is a multi-cancer early detection test, a blood test that screens for many of the deadliest cancers before they become symptomatic, Including those with no recommended screening tests today. If a cancer signal is found, results also can predict the tissue type or organ associated with the cancer signal. This vital information can help guide your healthcare provider with the next steps. The test is done right here at Pacific Pearl La Jolla and sent off for analysis. See a list of what the Galleri test screens for.
The Galleri test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those age 50 or older. It can be taken annually as a simple blood test and screens for a “fingerprint” of many of the most concerning cancers before they become symptomatic, including those with no recommended screening tests today.
When Galleri cancer screening results are received, our physicians carefully review the findings in the context of the whole person—considering not only the identified cancer signals but also each patient’s unique health history, lifestyle, and risk factors—then design a thoughtful, integrative care plan that may include advanced diagnostics, referrals to specialists, and supportive treatments and therapies.
