What is the Hers Multi-Cancer Test by Galleri®?
The Hers Multi-Cancer Test by Galleri® is a simple annual screen that analyzes DNA fragments in your blood to detect a signal linked to 50+ cancer types not commonly tested for, including ovarian, uterine, and pancreatic.1 The signal indicates potential cancer cells present in your body at the time of testing, allowing you to proactively check for a signal of 50+ cancers, potentially before symptoms appear.
If a Cancer Signal is found, the test will predict the likely area of origin in your body.
The test does not detect a signal for all cancers, and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur. The Galleri® test should be used in addition to healthcare provider-recommended screening tests.

Why should I consider this test?
Women face cancers that can develop silently and be missed in early stages, like ovarian and pancreatic.2 More than 1 in 3 women will develop invasive cancer in their lifetime,3 while recommended screenings cannot detect more than 47% of women’s cancers.4
Early detection can make a meaningful difference. When ovarian cancer is discovered earlier vs. after it has spread to other organs, the overall five-year survival rate can improve from 31.8% to 91.7%.5

What does it mean if I receive a No Cancer Signal Detected result?
This result doesn’t completely rule out the possibility of cancer. While the Galleri® test is a powerful tool, it cannot detect a signal for all cancers, and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. Some cancers shed little or no DNA into the bloodstream, making them unlikely to be detected through a blood test. False positive and false negative results do occur. This result does not predict whether you will develop cancer in the future.
How often should I take this test?
It’s recommended to perform the Hers Multi-Cancer Test by Galleri® annually. Cancer can develop at any time. Even if no Cancer Signal is found at the time you take the test, changes in your body can occur over time, and having regular checkups can help you stay ahead.
