  • Multi-cancer early detection screening requires a simple blood draw, and it checks for some of the deadliest cancers.

Kate Walsh, known for her role in "Grey's Anatomy," has shared her personal experiences with cancer, highlighting the diagnoses of both her parents. Her mother, Angela, passed away from a rare form of cancer, and her father, Joe, was diagnosed with colon cancer. Walsh has become an advocate for early cancer detection, particularly through a new screening method called Galleri, which can detect over 50 types of cancer through a simple blood test. This test, which she learned about through her involvement with the American Cancer Society, aims to identify cancer signals early, potentially before symptoms appear, thus improving treatment outcomes. Walsh emphasizes the importance of such screenings, especially given her family's history with the disease, and encourages others to be proactive about their health.
