Dr. Horton is excited to provide the Galleri test for early cancer detection. This simple blood test detects cell free DNA from over 50 different cancers. Once the common signature of abnormal methylated DNA is detected further testing can then narrow down the likely source of cancerous cells to focus further diagnostic testing. Many cancer screening tests require a sufficient sized tumor to be detected by mammogram, CT, MRI scans or endoscopies.
Dr. Horton encourages a healthy lifestyle including exercise, optimal nutritional antioxidant support and regular cancer screenings. Why would you want to detect cancer early? Because cancer cure rates are much higher in early stage disease. This test represents cutting edge technology embraced by many cancer institutions, longevity clinics and even some life insurance companies. Dr. Horton will be hosting an in office event in September so stay tuned for specific information. At MD Age Management We Help You Look and Feel Great to Live Well.
