602on the backing of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisers Wednesday, even as several doubted it works.</p><p>The test, called Galleri, looks for bits of DNA in the blood that may signal cancer. Its maker, Grail, says it can spot cancers of the stomach, bladder, <a href="https://www.healthday.com/a-to-z-health/cancer/colorectal-cancer-644848.html">colon</a>, skin and <a href="https://www.healthday.com/a-to-z-health/women-health/what-is-metastatic-breast-cancer-how-is-it-treated-2661662925.html">breast</a>, among others, reports <em>The Washington Post</em>.</p><p>Galleri has been sold in the United States since 2021 without FDA approval and costs nearly $1,000. Grail applied for approval in February and says the test, meant for adults 50 and older, shouldn't replace standard screenings.</p><p>The FDA's 10-member advisory committee declared in a 6-4 vote that the test is effective.</p><p>On whether its benefits outweigh its risks, members voted 7-2, with one abstention. All agreed it's safe.</p><p>Some members said finding cancers that have no screening option today made the test worth backing, but others voted yes with open reservations, <em>The Post</em> reported.</p><p>"If we can find more Stage 1 or more early-stage cancers in a population that we can't screen for currently, then that will end up having benefit," said committee member <a href="https://uoflhealth.org/provider/victor-van-berkel-thoracic-surgeon/">Dr. Victor van Berkel</a>, division chief of thoracic surgery at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. "But I don't know that that's been proven yet. So perhaps my 'yes' is a hopeful [vote] rather than an accurate one."</p><p>Much of that doubt traces to <a href="https://www.nhs-galleri.org/what-the-trial-found">a trial</a> with England’s National Health Service (NHS) involving more than 140,000 people. </p><p>The trial's main goal was to lower the rate of stage 3 and 4 diagnoses across 12 cancers. It didn't, Grail announced earlier this year.</p><p>Other research paints a more hopeful picture. In a Grail-funded study published Sept. 22 in <em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-026-04618-w">Nature Medicine</a></em>, researchers tested more than 32,000 adults 50 and older with no signs of cancer.</p><p>About 6 in 10 people who got a positive result turned out to have cancer. More than half of the new cancers the test caught were early stage, and most were types that have no routine screening.</p><p><a href="https://www.cancer.org/about-us/who-we-are/executive-leadership/william-dahut-bio.html">Dr. William Dahut</a>, chief scientific officer of the American Cancer Society, told the committee that testing for many cancers at once is more efficient than building a separate test for each one.</p><p>"No screening test is perfect," he said. "... but if we sit in a room for the next 20 years trying to find the perfect test, we have a large possibility we're going to lead to more cancer deaths."</p><p><a href="https://bios.physiology.umn.edu/emil-lou-md-phd-facp">Dr. Emil Lou</a>, an oncologist at the University of Minnesota, warned that the test can still raise false alarms, which may lead to stress and needless procedures. It c
602an also miss cancers, giving people false comfort, he said.</p><p><a href="https://www.fredhutch.org/en/people/r/scott-ramsey.html">Dr. Scott Ramsey</a>, a researcher at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, said the NHS results call the test's early-detection value into question.</p><p>"There's no proof that this is going to reduce your risk of dying from cancer," Ramsey said. "If you have a negative test, you should not feel reassured [and] continue with [cancer screenings] that have been proven."</p><p>Grail's proposed label would say a negative result doesn't rule out cancer, a positive one needs follow-up testing and isn't a diagnosis, and the test can miss cancers or give false results.</p><p>The FDA often follows its advisers but makes its own call. Grail expects a final decision on FDA approval in the coming months.</p><p><strong>More information</strong></p><p>Visit the American Cancer Society for more information about <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/screening/american-cancer-society-guidelines-for-the-early-detection-of-cancer.html">recommended cancer screenings</a>.</p><p>SOURCES: <em>The Washington Post</em>, Sept. 24, 2026; <em>Nature Medicine</em>, Sept. 22, 2026</p></p> 603 <h6></h6> 604 </div> 605 </div> 606 <!-- End News v3 --> 607 <!-- Copyright --> 608 <div> 609 <img src="https://cdn.refillrxconnect.com/themes/1/assets/img/HEALTHDAY.jpg" alt="HealthDay"/> 610 <h6>Health News is provided as a service to Nelson's Drug Store site users by HealthDay.
