We’re thrilled to announce that Prema Health is now offering the Galleri cancer screening blood test, making us one of the first clinics in the UK to provide this groundbreaking diagnostic service. This innovative blood test represents a significant leap forward in early cancer detection, offering our Portsmouth patients access to cutting-edge preventative healthcare.
What Makes the Galleri Blood Test Different?
Unlike traditional screening methods that focus on one type of cancer at a time, the Galleri test is a multi-cancer early detection blood test that screens for over 50 different types of cancer with a single blood draw. What makes this particularly remarkable is its ability to detect cancers before any symptoms manifest, when treatment outcomes are typically most favourable.
The test works by identifying circulating tumour DNA in your bloodstream – tiny fragments of genetic material that cancers shed into the blood. When a cancer signal is detected, the Galleri test can also predict where in the body the cancer is likely located, helping to guide follow-up diagnostic procedures.
Who Should Consider the Galleri Cancer Blood Test?
This screening test is particularly valuable for adults aged 50 and over, or those with an elevated cancer risk due to family history or other factors. As part of our comprehensive private GP services, we can help you determine whether the Galleri test is appropriate for your individual circumstances during a consultation.
It’s important to note that while the Galleri test is highly sophisticated, it’s designed to complement, not replace, existing recommended cancer screening programmes such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and cervical smears. Think of it as an additional layer of protection in your preventative health strategy.
Why Choose Prema Health for Your Cancer Screening?
