How Does Galleri Cancer Screening Work?
Currently, there are only a few forms of cancer screening available that catch the disease early: a colonoscopy for the colon, a mammogram for breast cancer, a PAP smear for cervical cancer, a CT scan for lung cancer, a PSA blood test for prostate cancer, and a skin exam for skin cancer. Other cancers are often detected late, or by accident. Later-stage cancers are more likely to result in death or a more taxing treatment.
This new cancer blood test detects 40 different types of cancer, including:
- Anal cancer
- Breast cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Esophageal cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Liver cancer
The Galleri cancer test revolutionizes cancer screening because it is a simple blood test that can detect these cancers at once. It is painless, and you get results in about 14 days.
If your test comes back positive, your healthcare provider confirms cancer’s presence with imaging tests. From there, you can collaborate with your doctor to determine the best treatment. The biggest thing with Galleri is that you are catching cancer way earlier, well before your body starts showing physical symptoms.
When you detect cancer early, the chances of surviving increase significantly. Our cancer screening programs allow you to take an active role in your health and wellness.
At Boston Direct Health in Massachusetts, we strive to make our patients feel comfortable and confident going through the process of cancer screening.

Galleri Blood Test Results
Galleri results are available within 2 weeks after the blood draw. Keep in mind that a positive test is not a diagnosis. If the blood test comes back positive, a reputable healthcare provider will do additional screening to confirm. The Galleri test is user-friendly, giving you a clear picture of your health at any given time.
Cancer is a serious and scary medical condition. Missing or delaying a cancer diagnosis can disrupt a person’s life. With that said, it is crucial to go to a reputable provider that specializes in cancer screening—like Boston Direct Health.
Dr. Steven Zivich and staff have screened many patients using Galleri and know how to ensure accurate results. Test negative? Great. You can go on about your life and enjoy peace of mind that you are cancer-free.

Cancer Screening Side Effects
After the procedure, patients resume normal activities immediately. The Galleri test has a high success rate and has been used in over 1 million patients worldwide. The blood draw does not pose any notable side effects. If anything, patients may feel soreness at the injection site. This discomfort is mild and subsides within days.
The main risk of any cancer screening is false-positive, which is a positive test result when cancer is not actually present. Screening tests can be great because they reassure people of their health status. Sometimes positive results on screening tests are incorrect, which can lead to unnecessary imaging tests and sometimes, albeit rarely, unnecessary biopsies and surgeries. Positive screening tests for cancer can also cause a significant amount of anxiety and panic, which a false positive test would unnecessarily put a patient through this stress.
The Galleri cancer screening test has a 0.5% false positive rate to minimize these unnecessary tests. In the event a patient has a positive screening test through the Galleri blood test but a negative imaging test, we will repeat the Galleri blood test 3 to 6 months later to check whether the blood test was a false positive or if the cancer was too small to show up properly through the imaging tests.
