The Galleri Test

Most of us are familiar with routine cancer screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap smears. While these are important, they only screen for a small number of cancers.

Galleri is a simple blood test designed to look for cancer signals before symptoms develop. It can detect signals associated with over 50 types of cancer, including those that do not have recommended routine screening today, such as pancreatic and ovarian cancers, which are often detected at later stages.

Why it matters

Many cancers develop quietly, without noticeable symptoms, and nearly 70 percent of cancer-related deaths are caused by cancers that lack standard screening options.

With a single blood draw, Galleri analyzes DNA shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream and can screen for multiple cancers at the same time. It is designed to be performed annually for individuals over age 50, or earlier for those with a strong personal or family history of cancer.

At Nova Wellness, we use Galleri as part of a proactive and individualized approach to care. It is designed to complement, not replace, routine screenings, and any positive result requires appropriate follow-up and diagnostic evaluation.

This approach is about empowering patients with more information, earlier. By expanding what we can detect, we support more informed decision-making and create opportunities for earlier evaluation when it matters most.
