Seems to me the 40% of positives that had cancer they didn’t know about would disagree with you. The 60% false positive had follow up diagnostic testing ( mostly noninvasive). That sounds like a good trade off to me.
Yeah seems kinda weird to word it the way she did. I'm a simple guy, "blood test to that will FLAG if you need to follow up for POTENTIAL cancer with a specialist (her freaking job) ". Nothing about what she said seems negative when you view it in that light knowing its just a early detection tool, and early detection gives the greatest odds of survival .... like what are we complaining about here exactly?
I had it done out of pocket. My test result was negative. The false negative rate is very low (98.5%). I'm satisfied with that result.

Could it be possible that the cancer is really early to be detected by an MRI or CT scan?
The annual Galleri test means it is given every year.
Excellent explanation, thank you! I really appreciate this in my decision determination
But did the "false positives" go on to develop cancer within two years?
Is just extra tumor marker test or more, how do we order this or Gaurdian Shield. Already older there isnt enough appts for colonoscopies etc
Do you recommend this test to your patients?
What about full body mri
