80% of men over 80 have prostate cancer. It is virtually an inevitability that if you live long enough, some cancers will develop. The questions which are more pertinent are: at what stage is your cancer, where is it located, is it metastasizing, and how progressive is it.

This test goes beyond "do you have cancer" by probabilistically identifying the presence, location, and progression of cancers. The results are shared with your doctor, who analyzes the results, gives them to you, and sets up your diagnostic and treatment plan.

Galleri does not talk directly to patients. This email was more like "your results say you need to follow up with your doctor" so the result was 400 people potentially having an extra doctor visit where they did not have any cancer results to discuss. Hardly malpractice.
