Early Cancer Detection with Galleri in San Jose, CA
At NexGen Health, we are committed to empowering patients in San Jose and Silicon Valley with cutting-edge wellness solutions. That’s why we’re excited to announce the addition of the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test to our services. This revolutionary blood test can detect signals from over 50 types of cancer at their earliest stages, giving patients a powerful tool in the fight against cancer.
Why Early Detection Matters
Cancer detected early has a significantly higher survival rate compared to advanced stages. Unfortunately, traditional cancer screenings cover only five types: breast, colorectal, prostate, cervical, and lung (for high-risk individuals). This leaves many cancers undetected until they have progressed.
- 70% of cancer deaths occur from cancers without standard screening options.
- Adults over 50 are 13 times more likely to develop cancer than younger individuals.
- Galleri fills this critical gap, detecting cancers that often show no symptoms until late stages.
What Is the Galleri Test?
The Galleri test is a groundbreaking blood test that identifies fragments of DNA shed by cancer cells. With a low false-positive rate of 0.5% and the ability to detect cancer signals with 76% sensitivity for the 12 deadliest cancers, Galleri sets a new standard in early cancer detection.

Galleri detects signals from hard-to-diagnose cancers such as:

If a cancer signal is found, Galleri pinpoints its origin with 89% accuracy, enabling targeted follow-up diagnostics and treatment.
Who Should Consider Galleri?
