If you have an elevated risk of cancer, for whatever reason, then you may soon be able to take a simple blood test for early detection.
Henry Ford Health is one of the first health care providers in the nation to provide this new cancer detection test. Called the Galleri test, it can detect many cancers that are not commonly screened for.
The Galleri test will be available through Henry Ford Health for those with an elevated risk of cancer, such as people aged 50 and older. They will also make the test available for those 22 years of age and older who may also have an elevated risk.
The test will be available by physician order only. Those interested in the Galleri test should consult with their Henry Ford primary care physician to determine whether the test is appropriate for them.
