At a semiannual primary care visit, Jack's doctor mentioned multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing.

Not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur. The Galleri is a screening test and does not diagnose cancer. Diagnostic testing is needed to confirm cancer. The Galleri test should be used in addition to healthcare provider recommended screening tests.    See Important Safety Information: http://bit.ly/33m8pFa    Based on a clinical study of people ages 50 to 79, around 1% are expected to receive a Cancer Signal Detected result. After diagnostic evaluation, around 40% of these people are expected to have a confirmed cancer diagnosis.
