Advancing cancer screening with a clinically-validated blood test

The Galleri test is supported by clinical studies with over 20,000 participants

Galleri sets the standard for multi-cancer early detection

To achieve the benefits of early detection while minimizing harms, multi-cancer early detection requires low false positive rates, highly accurate localization of organ/tissue origin, and high sensitivity of the deadliest cancer types.

Screen for more

Galleri detects a signal shared by more than 50 cancer types1 with a single blood draw, most of which lack routine screening tests. In a clinical study, Galleri approximately doubled the number of cancers detected than recommended screening.2 In the same study, 48% of confirmed cancers that were detected by Galleri were in stages I-II.2 The Galleri goes beyond routine cancer screenings (breast, lung, colon, cervical, and prostate) to screen for many cancers.

99.5% Specificity

Galleri has a specificity of 99.5%, which means that it has a low false positive rate of 0.5%. A low false positive rate helps minimize unnecessary diagnostic procedures.

Specificity = The proportion of people without cancer who received "No Cancer Signal Detected" results.

43.1% Positive Predictive Value

The Galleri’s positive predictive value (PPV) is 43.1%, meaning that about 4 out of 10 individuals with a Cancer Signal Detected result are expected to have a confirmed cancer diagnosis following diagnostic workup. Galleri’s PPV helps healthcare providers set expectations when discussing appropriate next steps for diagnostic workup.

Positive Predictive Value = The proportion of people with Cancer Signal Detected results diagnosed with cancer


98.5% Negative Predictive Value

The negative predictive value (NPV) for Galleri is 98.5%, which provides confidence that a No Cancer Signal Detected result is likely a true negative.

Negative Predictive Value = The proportion of people with No Cancer Signal Detected results without cancer.

93.4% Cancer Signal Origin Accuracy

The Galleri test’s highly accurate Cancer Signal Origin (CSO) prediction is an essential feature of multi-cancer early detection test. It helps clinicians effectively direct a diagnostic evaluation after a Cancer Signal Detection result.

Cancer Signal Origin Accuracy = The proportion of correctly predicted first (or second) CSO prediction(s) among study participants with cancer and "Cancer Signal Detected" results.

76.3% sensitivity for 12 deadly cancers

Galleri has high sensitivity (76.3%) for 12 of the deadliest cancers* that comprise two-thirds of all cancer deaths.1,7 Higher sensitivity for the deadliest cancers helps minimize overdiagnosis and/or overtreatment of indolent cancers.1 More aggressive cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, tend to release more cell-free DNA into the bloodstream at early stages and are more likely to be detected by the Galleri test.1,3 The overall sensitivity for cancer detection is 51.5% for all cancers and across all stages. This provides the opportunity to detect many additional cancers when added to recommended single-cancer screening.

Sensitivity = The proportion of people with cancer who received "Cancer Signal Detected" results.

*Anus, bladder, colon/rectum, esophagus, head and neck, liver/ bile duct, lung, lymphoma, ovary, pancreas, plasma cell neoplasm, and stomach
