A New Way to Screen for More Cancers

Summit Medical Group is collaborating with GRAIL to provide access to the Galleri test to eligible patients. Eligibility requirements include:

• U.S. residency
• Age 50 years or older
• Not currently pregnant
• Not currently undergoing active cancer treatment

Yes, as long as you are not currently in active cancer treatment and have completed cancer treatment at least 5 years ago*.

* excludes basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin

The Summit Medical Group price for the Galleri test is $789 and is not covered by insurance. However, you may be able to use pre-tax dollars in your flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) to pay for the Galleri test.

The Galleri test looks for a signal present in the blood that may be associated with cancer at the time of your blood draw. If a cancer signal is detected, the results can point to where in the body the cancer signal is coming from to help your healthcare provider guide next steps. The Galleri test is recommended to be used along with other cancer screening tests such as colonoscopy or mammogram.

Family history is one of many risk factors associated with cancer development. Other risk factors include age, eating habits, lifestyle, living or working environments, genetics, and many others**.

In a clinical validation study (CCGA3*), the Galleri test detected a cancer signal shared by more than 50 types of cancer across all stages.

The Galleri test detects a cancer signal shared by more than 50 types of cancers, however not all cancers can be detected in the blood. Recommended routine cancer screening tests such as colonoscopy or mammogram have been shown to reduce cancer deaths.

The Galleri test is intended to be used in addition to and not to replace these tests and can help maximize the chances of early cancer detection. Missing recommended screening or ignoring symptoms could lead to a delayed diagnosis of cancer.

Your sample will arrive at the lab one to two business days after your blood draw. Your results should be available to the ordering provider who ordered your test within 10 business days (Monday — Friday, excluding holidays) from the time your sample is received at GRAIL.

You will receive your results about two weeks after your blood draw from the ordering provider.

This means that no cancer signal was found in your blood test. However, not all cancers can be detected by the Galleri test. Continue with all routine screening tests that your healthcare provider recommends. Missing routine screenings or ignoring symptoms can lead to a delayed diagnosis of cancer.

This means that there is a suspicion of cancer and additional tests are needed to see if you have cancer. Your doctor will share next steps as appropriate.

The Galleri test can point to where in the body the cancer is coming from to help your primary healthcare provider guide next steps. Your doctor will coordinate to order appropriate follow-up testing to confirm if cancer is present.

Galleri is a screening test that detects a cancer signal in blood. When a signal is detected, the Galleri test also predicts where in the body the signal is coming from. The Galleri test is not a diagnostic test. Additional tests, which may include blood work or imaging, ordered by your primary healthcare provider are needed to confirm if cancer is present.

If a diagnostic evaluation after a ​"Cancer Signal Detected" result with Galleri does not confirm cancer, you may be eligible for a complementary re-test with Galleri.

The request for a re-test must be placed by the healthcare provider who will order the re-test. The re-test must be administered within 3 - 6 months after the initial Galleri test. To initiate a request for a re-test, the healthcare provider managing your diagnostic evaluation should contact GRAIL Customer Service at 833-MY-GALLERI (833−694−2553) or customerservice@​grail.​com.

The healthcare provider who orders the test will receive your test result and share it with you. Your test result and medical information are confidential, and access is limited to individuals who need the information for a specific purpose, such as the ordering provider and a GRAIL Patient Advocate. The ordering provider will help you understand your test results and determine your next steps. A GRAIL Patient Advocate can also provide post-positive test result support for diagnostic workup, benefits connectivity, assistance, and support with continuity of care / payer coverage assistance.

For example, if a cancer signal is detected, your test result may be shared with your primary healthcare provider so they can be aware and involved with your next steps.

Additional details about privacy and data use are included in the Galleri patient portal when you request the test.
