Early Detection Saves Lives
What is A Galleri Test?
The Galleri test is a revolutionary blood test that can detect over 50 types of cancers in their early stages, when treatment is most effective. The test analyzes tiny fragments of DNA shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream, allowing doctors to identify cancer before symptoms even appear.
Who is the Galleri Test For?
The Galleri test is for anyone wanting to control their health and catch cancer early. It’s especially recommended for individuals at higher risk of developing cancer due to family history, age, or lifestyle factors.
Why is early detection important?
Early detection is crucial because it can increase the chances of successful treatment and can even save lives. Many cancers don’t cause symptoms until they’ve progressed to a later stage, making them harder to treat. With the Galleri test, we can catch cancer early when it’s still treatable.
GALLERI SCREENS FOR OVER 50 TYPES OF CANCER
We understand that when it comes to cancer, knowledge is power. The Galleri test is unique in its ability to screen for over 50 types of cancer, including some of the most common cancers, such as lung, breast, prostate, and colon. In contrast, most other cancer screening tests only look for a few specific types of cancer.
WHAT IS THE GALLERI TEST PROCESS LIKE?
The Galleri test is a simple blood test that can be done in our office. There’s no need for any preparation beforehand, and the test takes only a few minutes. Once the blood sample is collected, it’s sent to the lab for analysis. We’ll contact you as soon as we receive the results.

Colon Cancer Screening
Colon cancer screening is a vital preventive measure for individuals aged 45 and older or those with risk factors. Our comprehensive screening options, including colonoscopy and stool tests, help detect abnormalities early when they are most treatable. Regular screenings can significantly reduce your risk of developing colorectal cancer, allowing for timely intervention and improved outcomes.
Breast Cancer Screening
Mammograms and clinical breast exams play a crucial role in early detection, greatly enhancing the likelihood of successful treatment. We recommend that women begin annual screenings at age 40 or earlier if they have a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors.
Skin Cancer Screening
Skin cancer screenings involve thorough examinations of your skin to identify any suspicious moles or lesions. Regular screenings are crucial, especially for individuals with a history of sun exposure, fair skin, or family history of skin cancer.
