After visiting an Urgent Care + TeleHealth clinc, you’ll receive your test results about two weeks after your blood sample is processed by the lab.

There are two possible results:

• No Cancer Signal Detected

• Cancer Signal Detected

Nearly 99% of people who take the Galleri test receive a “No Cancer Signal Detected” result—which is exactly what you want to hear. You should still continue with any routine cancer screenings recommended by your healthcare provider.

If a cancer signal is detected, we’ll discuss the results with you. The test can also predict the tissue or organ where the signal likely originated and this important information can help your healthcare provider decide on the next steps.

The Galleri test is recommended for adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those ages 50 or older.

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

Yes, the Galleri multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test has undergone clinical validation. A study published in Annals of Oncology evaluated its performance in detecting cancer signals across multiple types. The test demonstrated a specificity of 99.5%, meaning a low false-positive rate, and an overall sensitivity of 51.5%, with sensitivity increasing in more advanced cancer stages. Additionally, when a cancer signal was detected, the test accurately predicted the cancer’s origin in 88.7% of cases.
