Early Cancer Screening

Early Cancer Screening at Encompass Wellness & Aesthetics in Sioux Falls, SD gives you a proactive way to add to your routine cancer screening plan. The Galleri® test is a simple blood test that can screen for many deadly cancers, including some without routine screening options.

Early detection matters. While routine screening tests exist for cancers such as prostate, breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, over 70% of cancer deaths are caused by cancers without routine screening tests. Because of that, some patients want an added screening option that helps them go further.

What Early Cancer Screening May Add

Early Cancer Screening can add another layer of insight alongside the screenings you already discuss with your healthcare provider. At Encompass Wellness & Aesthetics, this service centers on the Galleri test, which helps screen for certain cancers before symptoms appear.

In other words, this service gives you another tool to discuss as part of your broader health plan. It is meant to support a proactive, informed conversation about your next steps.

What Is the Galleri Test?

The Galleri test is a simple blood test that can screen for many deadly cancers, including cancers that do not currently have routine screening options. It works by detecting unique cancer “fingerprints.”

This annual test may help identify cancers before symptoms appear. As a result, it may give you an opportunity to take a more proactive role in your health.

How Early Cancer Screening Fits Your Routine

It is important to understand both the value and the limits of this test.

The Galleri test does not detect all cancers. In addition, false positive and false negative results can happen. Therefore, you should use it alongside recommended cancer screenings from your healthcare provider, not instead of them.

That balance matters. Standard screenings still play an important role, and Galleri works best as an added screening tool within a broader plan.

Who Should Consider the Galleri Test?

The Galleri test is designed for adults at an elevated risk of cancer, especially those over age 50.

For example, factors that can increase cancer risk include:

  • Diabetes
  • Obesity with a BMI of 30 or higher
  • Smoking

The test is available by prescription only. However, it is not recommended for individuals who are:

  • Under age 21
  • Pregnant
  • Undergoing cancer treatment

Why Patients Add Galleri to Early Cancer Screening

In clinical trials involving more than 20,000 participants, adding the Galleri test to standard screenings significantly increased the number of detected cancers.

For patients who want a more proactive screening strategy, that added information can bring an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. Most importantly, it can support a more informed conversation about your overall screening routine.
