Ann: NHS-Galleri Trial Participant
Ann attended her first appointment for the NHS-Galleri trial in January 2022, while enjoying retirement after a career as a property manager and receptionist. The NHS-Galleri trial is a research study in England that is evaluating whether annual screening with the Galleri multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood test can help the NHS to detect cancer early when used alongside existing cancer screening programs. Watch Ann’s story of how she was diagnosed with Stage III bowel cancer following a Cancer Signal Detected result from the Galleri test. Doctors told her that because her cancer was Stage III, it could be removed by keyhole surgery.

The Galleri 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. Galleri is a screening test and does not diagnose cancer. Diagnostic testing is needed to confirm cancer. Based on a clinical study of people ages 50 to 79, around 1% are expected to receive a Cancer Signal Detected result, which includes a predicted Cancer Signal Origin. After diagnostic evaluation, around 62% of these people are expected to have a confirmed cancer diagnosis. The overall sensitivity in participants with colon/rectal cancer in a clinical study was 82.0% (43.3% for stage I, 85.0% stage II, 87.9% stage III, 95.3% stage IV). Rx only.
