A Single Blood Test to Screen for 50+ Types of Cancer
Many life-threatening cancers go undetected until it’s too late—because they don’t have routine screening options. At Internal Healing and Wellness MD, we offer the Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test, a groundbreaking tool that uses a simple blood draw to screen for more than 50 types of cancer. This non-invasive cancer screening blood test supports early detection when cancer is most treatable—long before symptoms appear.
What Is the Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test?
This is a comprehensive cancer detection blood test that analyzes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) shed by tumors into the bloodstream. Through advanced DNA methylation analysis, the test detects cancer-specific signals with high precision—even if you're asymptomatic.
Unlike traditional cancer screening tools that focus on a single organ, Galleri® is a multi-cancer blood test that provides wide-ranging insight from a single draw.
How the Test Works
- Blood Sample Collection – A fast, routine blood draw at our clinic in Houston or The Woodlands.
- DNA Methylation Analysis – Your sample is examined for cancer-related epigenetic changes in cfDNA.
- Results and Guidance – If a cancer signal is detected, the test identifies the most likely tissue or organ of origin to guide diagnostic follow-up.
This DNA cancer test is performed in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited lab, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and reliability.

Why Early Cancer Detection Matters
Most cancers do not present symptoms until advanced stages. By identifying cancers early—especially those that are aggressive or hard to detect—the Galleri® test helps you take control of your health outcomes. Detecting cancer early may reduce the need for invasive treatments and improve survival rates significantly.
