multi-cancer early detection test

The Galleri test is a multi-cancer early detection test that detects more than 50 types of cancer, many of which are not commonly screened for today, through a simple blood draw. The Galleri test does not diagnose cancer and not all cancers may be detected in the blood.  Additionally, for each type of cancer the Galleri test screens for, there are variable levels of sensitivity for detection, and the sensitivity can change depending on what stage the detected cancer is at the time of testing

The Galleri test looks for signals present in the blood that may be associated with cancer at the time of your blood draw. If a cancer signal is detected, Galleri results can point to where in the body the cancer is coming from to help your healthcare provider guide next steps.

The Galleri test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older.  Annual testing is recommended, just as annual screening is recommended with the currently available commercial tests with your Primary Care Provider.  The Galleri test is intended to be used in addition to, and not replace, other cancer screening tests your healthcare provider recommends.

Front Line Mobile Health is happy to provide this testing to the immediate family members of those in public service (within the states we are licensed to practice) and will honor the discounted rate of $800 that we currently offer to fire fighters, law enforcement, and emergency medical services.  This is a savings of $200 compared to ordering from Grail directly, based our negotiated rate to make this valuable testing as accessible to our Front Line family as possible.

According to Title 6, Public Officers and Employees, Chapter 607.055, cancers which originate in the stomach, colon, rectum, skin, prostate, testis, or brain, as well as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, malignant melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma are presumed to have developed during the course and scope of employment as a firefighter or emergency medical technician if:

(1)   The firefighter or emergency medical technician:

Regularly responded on the scene to calls involving fires or fire fighting; or

Regularly responded to an event involving the documented release of radiation or a known or suspected carcinogen while the person was employed as a firefighter or emergency medical technician.

Applicability is limited to those individuals who were employed for at least five years or more as a firefighter, peace officer, or emergency medical technician, and for those cancers which are discovered during employment. Presumption is not automatically granted to those individuals who were users of tobacco (or if the individual’s spouse was a smoker during the marriage) where cancers which are related to tobacco use are diagnosed.

If a cancer signal is detected, additional testing would be recommended to confirm the finding.  Additional testing may include labs, imaging, and a biopsy.
