Description: In this episode, Dr Kevin Fernando and Dr Jim McMorran discuss the ongoing NHS-Galleri trial. The study, which is being conducted among 140,000 asymptomatic patients in England, will assess whether the new Galleri blood test can assist in detecting cancer early when used alongside existing screening measures in the NHS. Kevin and Jim consider the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of the test, reflect on how the test compares with other investigative measures for cancer and contemplate the key practical aspects primary care professionals should be aware of.
