San Francisco, CA – The San Francisco Firefighters Cancer Prevention Foundation (SFFCPF) will sponsor the Galleri Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test, which can detect more than 50 types of cancer in the earliest stages to any active or retired SFFD members (who meet the criteria). The Galleri test is done through a simple blood draw and works by detecting fragments of DNA in the blood that have been "shed" by cancer cells (learn more HERE). If a cancer signal is detected in the blood, the Galleri test can determine where in the body that signal is coming from with high accuracy.
