Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection
When it comes to cancer, early detection can make a meaningful difference. The Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test uses a simple blood draw to screen for a shared signal associated with more than 50 types of cancer—including many that don’t currently have standard screening options. At Simply Midland, it’s another way we help patients take a more proactive approach to their health.

Routine screenings only cover a handful of cancers
Mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap smears are essential — and you should keep getting them. But together they screen for only a small fraction of the cancers people actually develop.
Pancreatic, ovarian, liver, esophageal, and many other cancers have no recommended screening test for people without symptoms. They're often found only after symptoms appear, when treatment options have narrowed.
Galleri is designed to close part of that gap.
How it Works
Simple blood draw
Your appointment takes just a few minutes. No fasting, no prep, no imaging.
DNA analysis
Cells throughout your body shed fragments of DNA into your bloodstream. Cancer cells shed DNA too — carrying distinct methylation patterns that set them apart from healthy cells. Galleri uses next-generation sequencing and machine learning to read those patterns.
Review results
Results return as either "No Cancer Signal Detected" or "Cancer Signal Detected." If a signal is found, the report also predicts the Cancer Signal Origin — where in the body the signal most likely started — to direct follow-up efficiently.
More than 50 types of cancer
Galleri looks for one signal shared across many cancers, rather than testing for each one individually. That includes cancers that are notoriously difficult to catch early:
Pancreas
Ovary
Liver
Esophagus
Gallbladder
Kidney
Head and neck
Small intestine
Bone and soft tissue
Blood cancers, including multiple myeloma and lymphoma
35,000+
participants in the PATHFINDER 2 study across the U.S. and Canada
~71%
of Galleri-detected cancers were found at Stages I–III, when treatment is generally more effective
~3 in 4
of those cancers had no existing recommended screening test
The PATHFINDER study enrolled more than 6,600 adults aged 50 and older and showed the test could be integrated into routine clinical care, with accurate cancer signal origin prediction in nearly 9 out of 10 cases. PATHFINDER 2 went further: adding Galleri alongside standard screening substantially increased the number of cancers detected compared with standard screening alone.

Generally recommended for:
Adults 50 and older, when cancer risk rises with age
Adults under 50 with elevated risk — a strong family history, or other clinical factors your provider identifies
Not recommended for:
People who are pregnant
Anyone under 21
Anyone currently in active cancer treatment

Galleri adds to your routine screenings - it doesn’t replace them
Galleri is an additional layer, designed to catch signals that conventional screening isn't built to find. Keep every screening your provider recommends. No screening test detects every cancer. A "No Cancer Signal Detected" result doesn't rule cancer out, and a "Cancer Signal Detected" result requires diagnostic follow-up to confirm. Galleri is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

FAQ
-
Just a few minutes. It's a standard blood draw — no fasting or special preparation required.
-
Results typically return within a couple of weeks and are reviewed with you by a provider at Simply.
-
Your report will include a predicted Cancer Signal Origin, which helps direct follow-up testing to the right area of the body. A provider at Simply will walk you through the results and coordinate recommended next steps. A detected signal is not a diagnosis — it means further evaluation is warranted.
-
Most results come back "No Cancer Signal Detected." That's reassuring, but it doesn't rule out cancer — continue with all routine screenings your provider recommends.
-
Galleri is not covered by insurance and is offered as a self-pay test. The test is HSA/FSA eligible.
-
Galleri is a prescription test. A provider at Simply will review your health history and, if the test is appropriate for you, place the order for you.
-
Possibly. Galleri is generally intended for adults 50 and older, but may be appropriate for younger adults with elevated risk factors. Talk with a provider to find out.
