Women under 50 are 82% more likely to develop cancer than men. And routine cancer screenings fall short–with only 5 cancers routinely tested. But liquid biopsy testing gives you the chance to test for 50+ cancers all at once. The Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) Test by GRAIL is a liquid biopsy that detects DNA patterns in blood to flag potential cancer signals–even those cancers not routinely screened for, like thyroid and uterine cancers. Here’s why early detection tests matter: they can catch cancer signals up to 4 years before traditional screening methods. Citations: https://lnkd.in/eHmGp6mq
