The “C” word is something that, when spoken by their doctor, is enough to make even the strongest person crumble. That word, of course, is cancer, and, until recently, the ways of detecting it early were few and far between. Now, thanks to Galleri, there’s a blood test that is capable of detecting DNA fragments for over 50 types of cancer and informing the doctor as to which organ is compromised.

The Galleri test is still yet to be covered by insurance providers in America, however, the $949 bill is a small price to pay for a blood test that will, accurately, discover whether or not an individual has cancer – and it will do so early enough to be able to treat and eradicate most types.
