This week we invited Dr. Lisa Larkin of Ms. Medicine back to the show to talk about an amazing new blood test. Galleri is a multi-cancer early detection test detects a cancer signal across more than 50 different types of cancer, many of which are not commonly screened for today.
This new type of precision medicine can be a game changer to add to your current healthcare. Early detection of hard to diagnose cancers can now allow patients to receive treatment sooner and may extend life expectancy or even become curative for many types of cancer.
Dr. Larkin offers the test at Ms. Medicine locations and we discuss with her the costs associated with the test, the procedures surrounding the test and which demographic will benefit the most. Whether you have a genetic history or over age 50, this is a test that you should be discussing with your primary care physician.
