Robert signed on for the NHS-Galleri trial with the intention of advancing cancer research. When the multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test returned a Cancer Signal Detected result, he was shocked.
On the latest episode of The Cancer SIGNAL podcast, host Rayshawnda Madison speaks with Robert as he shares how his follow-up journey eventually led to an early HPV-related cancer diagnosis, what it was like to navigate treatment and recovery, and how the experience changed the way he thinks about health and early detection.
The Cancer SIGNAL is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

Dr. Nima Nabavizadeh, principal investigator for the PATHFINDER 2 study, shares key takeaways from this data. He noted:
“As an oncologist, I have seen too many patients diagnosed only after their cancer has spread, when treatment decisions become more difficult. By helping find more cancers earlier, when more treatment options may be available, there is great potential for multi-cancer early detection to transform cancer screening.”

PATHFINDER 2 data being presented today at #ASCO26 offer new evidence on the safety and performance of a multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test when used alongside recommended #CancerScreenings.

When Doreen volunteered for the NHS-Galleri trial evaluating a multi-cancer early detection (#MCED) test, she never expected the study would identify a signal for #lymphoma in her own blood.
Follow-up testing confirmed a Stage I-II lymphoma diagnosis and Doreen was able to promptly begin treatment. Today, she’s back on her bike and sharing her journey to help others understand the importance of #EarlyCancerDetection.

#ASCO26
The overall sensitivity in study participants with lymphoma was 56.3% (27.3% for stage I, 58.3% stage II, 71.7% stage III, 60.9% stage IV).
Results from the NHS-Galleri trial presented at #ASCO26 found that the addition of the Galleri test to standard-of-care cancer screenings led to a four-fold increase in screen-detected cancers.

@maggie_hott@sweatystartup We are sorry to hear about this and take these reports seriously. Please contact us so we can learn more at https://t.co/BXkaBiDtTC or call 833-694-2553.
At #ASCO26, we’re presenting primary results from the NHS-Galleri trial, the first randomized controlled study of an #MCED test, plus the full PATHFINDER 2 dataset.
Together, this data strengthens evidence on MCED performance, safety, and clinical utility.

Research has shown that many patients with cancer are diagnosed through an emergency route, and these patients are more likely to have poor survival, even beyond the fact that they are also more likely to be diagnosed at a late stage.
Patients diagnosed through more managed routes, such as cancer screening, are more likely to have early-stage disease and higher survival.
At #AACR26, join us for a poster presentation exploring cancers first identified in the emergency department and what this route to diagnosis may reveal about patterns in cancer care.
#CancerResearch #EarlyCancerDetection
We’re bringing new insights to #AACR26 across early cancer detection, screening behavior, and liquid biopsy research.
First, explore GRAIL data on emergency presentation during cancer diagnosis and survival, as well as late-breaking research examining standard screening adherence following a negative multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test.
Then, join us for an oral presentation in partnership with AstraZeneca exploring the potential role of ctDNA clearance in treatment monitoring for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Today we announced a collaboration with EPIC to integrate the Galleri multi-cancer early detection (#MCED) test into EPIC’s electronic health record (EHR) platform, supporting broader adoption across the US #HealthSystems.

Most cancer deaths are caused by cancers that don’t have a screening test.
Multi-cancer early detection (#MCED) tests can detect signals for several cancers, catching them earlier, when it counts.

Seven in 10 cancer deaths in the US are from cancers with no screening recommendations, including pancreatic, liver, ovarian, and more.

We recently celebrated 10 years of GRAIL across our sites and with our remote employees, recognizing all the people behind the incredible progress we have made in that time.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped bring this day to life.
As we look to the next decade, we carry forward what started GRAIL in the first place: the curiosity to follow an unexpected signal, and the determination to turn possibility into progress – together.
#GRAIL #EarlyCancerDetection
Five-year CCGA3 outcomes in @JCOPO_ASCO show that cancers with a cancer signal detected result using a blood-based multi-cancer early detection (#MCED) test had survival consistent with matched SEER populations, including early-stage disease.
The MCED test was likely to find clinically significant cancers without contributing to overdiagnosis.

The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers, and false positive and false negative results can occur. Diagnostic testing is needed to confirm cancer.
Today we announced that Bob Ragusa will retire as Chief Executive Officer, effective June 1, 2026. GRAIL’s Board of Directors has appointed the Company’s President, Josh Ofman, MD, MSHS, to serve as GRAIL’s Chief Executive Officer upon Ragusa’s retirement.
