Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test at Serenity Rejuvenation Center

That’s why we’re proud to offer the Galleri® test, an innovative, prescription-only multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood test designed to help identify signals from over 50 types of cancer, often before symptoms appear.

Led by Dr. Stephen O’Connell, our concierge-level medical spa integrates advanced screening tools like Galleri® with our holistic approach to rejuvenation, helping you prioritize prevention alongside aesthetic and wellness treatments.

The Galleri® test is a simple blood draw that screens for a shared “fingerprint” of many cancers by analyzing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) shed into your bloodstream. It looks for specific methylation patterns (chemical modifications on DNA) that can indicate the presence of cancer signals and even predict the likely origin (such as pancreas, lung, or colon).

• Quick and convenient: Just one blood draw, no special preparation needed.
• Screens for 50+ cancer types: Including many deadly ones without routine screening today (e.g., pancreatic, ovarian, esophageal).
• Complements standard screenings: Use it alongside recommended tests like mammograms, colonoscopies, or low-dose CT for lung cancer.

Galleri® is intended for adults with elevated risk, typically those 50+, or younger individuals with risk factors like family history, smoking, or genetic predispositions. It’s a screening tool, not a diagnostic test. A “Cancer Signal Detected” result prompts further evaluation by your healthcare provider.

Early detection can make a life-changing difference. By identifying cancer signals before symptoms, Galleri® supports:

• Proactive peace of mind – Knowing you’re taking an extra step toward early intervention for cancers that are often silent until advanced stages.
• Potential for better outcomes – Many cancers are more treatable when found early, especially those without standard screening options.
• Efficient guidance – If a signal is detected, the test predicts the likely location with high accuracy (around 92% in studies), helping direct follow-up tests quickly and effectively.
• Added layer of protection – In large studies, adding Galleri® to standard screenings increased cancer detection significantly, often catching cancers in earlier stages or in unscreened organs.

It’s an empowering tool for those who want more comprehensive insight into their health aligning perfectly with our mission at Serenity to enhance quality of life through science-backed, personalized care.

Many individuals have shared how the Galleri® test impacted their journey:

• Valerie’s Story: After a routine Galleri® test, Valerie received a “Cancer Signal Detected” result pointing to her gallbladder. Follow-up imaging and surgery revealed a tumor she had no symptoms of, caught early enough for successful treatment. Her surgeon noted it was a rare find, highlighting how the test uncovered something unexpected.
• Other shared experiences include patients who received positive signals leading to timely diagnoses of cancers in hard-to-screen areas, allowing intervention before progression. Many describe the test as providing reassurance or prompting life-saving action.

These real stories underscore the potential of early detection, though results vary, and not every signal leads to a confirmed diagnosis.

• Accuracy Insights: Studies show high specificity (low false positives, around 99%+ in some data), meaning a “No Cancer Signal Detected” result is very reassuring. Sensitivity varies by cancer type and stage: higher for later stages, more modest for very early ones (e.g., overall around 40-50% in broad populations, with better performance for aggressive cancers).
• Not a replacement: Galleri® does not detect all cancers, and false positives/negatives can occur. It’s used in addition to, not instead of, your doctor’s recommended screenings.
• Prescription-Required: Administered under medical supervision at Serenity, with full consultation from Dr. O’Connell to assess if it’s right for you.

Galleri® is not FDA-approved but is performed in a CLIA-certified lab meeting high standards.

We bring the same physician-led, patient-centered approach to advanced screening that defines all our services from aesthetic rejuvenation and weight management to innovative wellness options. Dr. O’Connell personally oversees your care, ensuring thoughtful integration with your overall health goals.
