![]() ![]() The model establishes that by adding Galleri® to routine care in a patient population over age 50, cancer-related deaths over five years can be reduced by 26%. Bioinformatic scientists at GRAIL, in collaboration with external researchers, developed a cancer stage-shift mode 9 to quantify mortality reduction when a patient population over age 50 takes Galleri®. Mortality reduction on in-force blocks of business By drastically increasing the number of cancers that can be detected through screening, Galleri® has the potential to transform the future of cancer detection leading to early intervention and higher rates of survival. Through a single blood draw, Galleri® can detect a cancer signal from more than 50 types of cancer-over 45 of which currently lack recommended standard screening-with a low false positive rate. Munich Re Life US is partnering with GRAIL, LLC (“GRAIL”) a healthcare company with a mission to detect cancer early, to bring Galleri®, a multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test, to life insurance policyholders in the U.S. ![]() What if people could be screened for more types of cancer with a single test? To put this into perspective, 71% of cancer deaths result from cancers with no recommended screening. There are currently more than 100 known types of cancers 4, most of which go undiagnosed until it is too late to prevent death. However, these guideline-recommended single cancer screenings are limited to five types of cancer: breast, colon, cervical, prostate, and lung. By detecting cancer early through the use of single cancer screenings such as colonoscopies, mammograms, pap smears, CT scans, and rectal examinations, the odds of successful treatment improve. While a cure for cancer remains elusive, early cancer detection tools offer hope for patients. Yet, cancer still strikes an estimated 40 out of 100 men and 39 out of 100 women during their lifetime. ![]() 2 For decades, doctors have tried to mitigate the impact of cancer through increased research and routine screenings. 1 Each year, more than 1.7 million new cases are diagnosed and over 600,000 American lives are lost to this deadly disease. Cancer is one of the most feared diseases in America. ![]()
