GRAIL Cancer Screening
Early Cancer Detection—Before Symptoms Begin
When it comes to cancer, early detection changes everything. The Galleri multi-cancer early detection test screens for a signal shared by over 50 types of cancer through a single blood draw, often before symptoms appear. At Lipedema Warrior Clinic, we offer this cutting edge test as part of our commitment to proactive, whole person care.
What is the Galleri Test?
The Galleri test is a first of its kind blood test that looks for a cancer signal across multiple organ systems, not just one. It’s designed to detect signals from cancers that are often difficult to catch early, such as pancreatic, ovarian, and esophageal cancers, and can identify where in the body the cancer signal is coming from if one is found.
This test does not replace routine screenings (like mammograms or colonoscopies), but it adds a powerful layer of insight for those looking to catch cancer early, when it's most treatable.
How The Galleri Test Works
Step 1: Simple Blood Draw
A single blood sample is collected during your visit.
Step 2: High Sensitivity Genomic Analysis
The sample is analyzed for cancer specific methylation patterns, genetic changes associated with cancer.
Step 3: Results in ~2 Weeks
If a cancer signal is detected, the results will indicate where in the body it’s likely coming from. These results are reviewed during a personalized consultation with your provider.
Why Early Detection Matters
