Products and Services

GRAIL, LLC has developed a suite of innovative products aimed at the early detection of cancer, each designed to address different stages of diagnosis and patient management. These include:

• Galleri: This groundbreaking screening test is tailored for asymptomatic individuals who are over 50 years of age. Galleri works by detecting signals in the blood that may indicate the presence of cancer, thereby allowing for early intervention before symptoms manifest. The test represents a significant advance in non-invasive cancer screening, offering a promising tool in the quest to reduce cancer mortality rates through early detection.
• Diagnostic Aid for Cancer (DAC): Specifically designed to expedite the diagnostic resolution for patients who have a clinical suspicion of cancer, the DAC serves as a crucial tool in the diagnostic process. By streamlining the pathway to diagnosis, this product aims to shorten the time between suspicion and confirmation of cancer, thus facilitating prompt access to treatment.
• Minimal Residual Disease and Other Post-Diagnostic Tests: In addition to its early detection and diagnostic assistance products, GRAIL is working on developing tests for minimal residual disease (MRD) and other post-diagnostic scenarios. These tests are geared towards monitoring cancer survivors for any signs of recurrence, as well as providing insights into the effectiveness of treatment. The development of MRD and post-diagnostic tests reflects GRAIL’s comprehensive approach to cancer management, from detection through to survivorship.
