- In what may have been a lifesaving decision, 76-year-old Jim Ford took part in a study on the Galleri test, a blood test that screens for more than 50 cancers. NBC News' Kate Snow speaks with him to learn more about what was detected, and hears from Dr. Joshua Ofman, the president and chief medical officer for GRAIL, a biotech startup that created the test.

It sickens me that this is not covered by insurance. Hope that changes soon. Does not seem like you would need to get monthly perhaps once every couple years.This could potential he save so many lives.personally I know I would like to take the test.
With a 50% accuracy rate? That’s no better than a guess.
It's not covered even if it's a preventable tool to get sick and save money to the insurance companies cuz our health it's a business for them....
@@maremacd lol it’s not a coin flip, though your assessment is fair. What it’s saying is that of the positive signals identified, 50% end up in a cancer diagnosis. Of course there are cases that I’m sure are lost to follow up as well. A better way to look at this would be by the Positive Predictive Value (the ratio of patients truly diagnosed as positive to all those who had positive test results). So Galleri is almost 50% and single cancer tests like mammograms are at 5%, colorectal tests are between 4-9%. So this test outpaces these by far.
The new world order wants us dead, not alive. That’s what the fake vaxx was for.
This is like the worst best gift you can give someone
This is what Theranos promised. Good to see someone actually did it.
For some reason I thought you said Thanos, I was confused until I realized
if only thanos helped test for cancer, would have made for an interesting twist In the movie 😃.
@@reilly2173 lmaoooo.. have you seen the new Spider-Man yet?
This test should be routine with your annual wellness exam. Maybe in the future insurance will cover the cost.
Amen!
Wish this was around when I lost my Dad at 48 to pancreatic cancer in 1998. I’ve lost my Mom to Skin cancer in 2018 (she survived breast cancer twice) and because we’re black the oncologist said he hasn’t seen many black patients with cancer but in Canada race based data is still not collected and they use US raced based data which cannot accurately describe the situation of cancer in Canada. Wish my Mom had a blood test as well because she was detected too late and so was my Dad. I’m happy for Jim, where is all the millions of cancer research money going to not make this available worldwide? Because cancer is a huge business. I pray that this will be widely available and I will mention this to Canadian doctors on what I can do to get this widely available. Cancer has really put me through so much grief and trauma, I miss my parents so much. God bless you if you’re going through cancer and hope you have the support like I was for my parents 🙏🏽❤️
At $950, it's unaffordable for most elderly and even regular working class people. If the drop the price to $199, however, consumers will be lining up to buy these, making mass selling easier and still profitable. As it's currently priced, no wonder the health insurance companies won't pay for these.
That's a great idea and a point you made
Wow, this is amazing. I'm so glad for Jim and his family.
I'm terrified of getting cancer. I've lost my Mom (I miss her every single day), Grandpa/Grandma (dad's side)and 1 uncle to Cancer. My father, 1 aunt and other relatives who have been diagnosed with Cancer 💔 I think I'm a bit traumatized by it. It's expensive and I'll have to save up for it but it would be worth it. For now I'll continue to eat well, do yoga 3-4x a week, keep my stress levels down and I stopped drinking over a year ago 🥳
@Wellness MiMi, there are a lot of health changes you can make to reduce your chance of getting cancer. Some are easy, some take more time and energy. You can find excellent information on TH-cam from Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Jason Fung, and motivationaldoc. If we understand how the food we eat affects how our genes are expressed, we can "turn on" healthy genes and "turn off" the unhealthy genes. Ensuring we have enough of minerals is key as well. Stay positive and keep learning, and you will have a healthy life. Blessings.
It's sad that people don't realize all the sugar they consume everyday besides all the poisons in food and air.
sugar, salt, and deep fried foods are all toxins.
Like my depression is bad enough, and this.
Depression - try Spravato treatment. My wife has treatment resistant depression. After about 1 year her depression is now in remission. Anti-depressant pills are only 30% effective at best. My wife was on all of them over past 20 years. Very little relief, then forced to change each time after 6 mths to year.
This technology is the future! 950$ is affordable now, I hope this test doesn’t become thousands $ and unattainable like other medical tests are.
@@guadalupeescobedo3809 over 22 can get it though it’s recommended for adults 50+. How old are you?
So it's like a cancer detecting gps!
God bless Jim stage two is optimistic
That's great news, now roll it out to the world
How do I get one now
Too bad its not covered under insurance.
950 dollars?!
I cc this clip to my doc and asked if I can have this test and I am willing to pay for it. He told me there is no such test in the market yet.
Did you show him the website? It sounds like your PCP needs to be better informed.
@@sh80611 yup was told its not in his inventory and referred me to an oncology clinic to have it done. Just had it done last week waiting for the results. Thanks
Change doctors
Thank you Medical science !
I love those stories, we need it in those times...
Amazing!
Imagine this...people everywhere continue to have children. The older ones live longer and longer. And longer. So what will it be of the world if no one dies or live until 100 at least.
SS definitely be drained.
So are you saying let’s not help people live longer??
@@Glenetteblessed it’s ok, time is an illusion. Nothing really matters.
Don't worry... The rulers of the world and nature itself will control that situation.
Where is the link?
$1000 dollars for the patient and your supposed to pay that every year? Guess it's only for the rich.
Can I buy it without visiting GP?
I'm semi familiar with thin prep in the late 90s so I find this unbelievable...this guy I worked with used to sniff the slides...of course once those cancers are floating around in the blood isn't it too late?
FDA Approves HPV Test for Primary Screening. On April 24 the FDA gave the go ahead for the first human papillomavirus (HPV) test to be used as primary screening for cervical cancer. This new FDA decision allows one test, the cobas® HPV test (manufactured by Roche), to be used alone for primary cervical cancer screening 2014
Amazing
at 76 it should have been on his mind
How much is this test
Cant wait to find out the backstory
God bless that gentleman and his family. Thank God for the test as well. Second chance in life. Hallelujah thank you Jesus Christ Amen 🙏❤️😊
How can I be a volunteer for testing anyone help with this if you have information
Don't think you can volunteer for that unless you are already certified to test people.
Make this free too the public
False negative? What’s the percentage!? Showed us , false positive! False negative is more important to me if I’m going to spend a grand
I read the study result. This test finds 27,5% of cancers at an early stage (stage 1 and 2). 72,5% of early stage cancer patients are false negatives :/
0.5% are false positives. I like that
@@southernreign1 I’m glad there are informed people like you! It’s a breath of fresh air. You may also like to look up the Positive Predictive Value for this text vs mammograms, colorectal, etc. I think you’ll be surprised by the accuracy of this test… or maybe shocked at the low PPV for the routine screenings.
Junk science
Thank God for this kind of blood test.
No thank science not your imaginary god
Wow
This is really great all over should get this product so the sooner we know the better 🙏
Kudos to Planet Ayurveda for their relentless pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. Your medicine is a game-changer, bringing healing and hope to countless lives.
How much does it cost? $1k is not bad at all. That's how much a diabetes medicine costs.
$940. You do need a doctor to prescribe it. Limited labs in some states do it
50% are false positives?
You have a LONG way to go before your ready to spike the football, those are terrible numbers
Jeez. I don’t know if I wanna know 🤣🤣🤣🤣
About time!!! Now to get insurance to cover it. Saves them money on long run.
Not cheep
Elizabeth Holmes all over again 🤔?
There’s over a hundred types of Skin Cancers too !
Sure it does just like Theranos.
Taking this test could be the end of your life. Not to discredit the product but imagine finding out you did have some kind of cancer, they treat you for it and it comes back and you die earlier than if you had never taken the test at all. That would be truly sad.
How does that work? If you have cancer, you have cancer. It doesn't manifest because it's not detected; quite the opposite. People show up when it's too late quite often. That's very sad.
