Wendy is a cancer previvor. After losing her mother to breast cancer, she took proactive steps to understand her own risk through genetic testing at Inova Saville Cancer Screening and Prevention Center.

The results revealed a BRCA1 mutation inherited from her father, significantly increasing her risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Wendy received personalized preventive care to help manage her risk and protect her health. ✨

Cancer screening is evolving. A blood test designed to detect signals associated with more than 50 cancers could eventually help identify cancers that today have no routine screening options.

This week an FDA advisory committee recommended approval of Galleri®, an important step in the federal review process. The FDA has not yet made its final decision.

Inova Schar Cancer participated in PATHFINDER 2, a study of more than 35,000 adults evaluating the Galleri® test's performance and safety. Rebecca Kaltman, MD, Executive Director of the Inova Saville Cancer Screening and Prevention Center, served as a study investigator and co-authored the findings recently published in Nature Medicine. https://bit.ly/4ymby4O

For patients, research like this is helping shape how emerging cancer screening tools may one day complement established screening and potentially expand opportunities for earlier detection. Inova continues to participate in groundbreaking multi-cancer detection research, including the NCI Vanguard Study among others.
