began offering a blood test this week that screens for a wide range of cancers before warning signs appear, including those without routine screenings.The test, called Galleri, requires just one blood draw.
From that single sample, it scans for tiny DNA fragments shed by more than 50 different types of cancer. “If a cancer signal is detected, the test can predict the tissue or organ system where that signal is most likely originating from,” Carroll explained. “That guidance is important because it helps inform next steps with a healthcare provider, rather than simply flagging something abnormal without direction.”The peel of this fruit can actually help beat the flu — and protect against herpesStarting this week, subscribers to the company’s $350 lab testing service can add the prescription-only test for an extra $700 — about 25% off Galleri’s list price.“Because more than 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lifetime, people from all backgrounds can benefit from additional tools that can help monitor their health before symptoms arise,” he continued.published in 2025.

If a signal pops up, Carroll said a provider will reach out quickly — typically within 15 hours — to walk the customer through the results.“Following that conversation, we can support customers in downloading the results and sharing them with their preferred in-person healthcare provider, who may suggest further testing and imaging,” Carroll said.That uncertainty has some experts concerned that a clean result could offer false peace of mind — leading people to brush off symptoms or skip routine screenings altogether.“They get the result ‘negative, no cancer detected.’ Why would they chase that down further?” “We encourage customers to think of this as a tool to use in addition to their regular screenings,” he said. “It represents a meaningful advancement in how we can look for cancer signals earlier and more comprehensively than traditional screening alone.”Bella Hadid’s aesthetician reveals the under-the-radar at-home treatment she loves — and her fave drugstore buysHair today, gone tomorrow?
