Early Cancer Detection Q & A
What is early cancer detection?
Early multi-cancer detection at the Atwell Longevity Institute involves a partnership with Grail Inc Galleri.

Common cancers in the United States include:
- Colorectal cancer
- Breast cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Skin cancer
- Liver cancer
- Stomach cancer
- Bladder cancer
- Endometrial cancer
- Leukemia
- Kidney cancer
- Lymphoma

- Pancreatic cancer
Early cancer detection allows opportunities to receive life-saving treatments.
Who is a candidate for early cancer detection?
The following risk factors make you a candidate for early cancer detection at Atwell Longevity Institute:
- Family or personal history of cancer
- Smoking
- Excessive drinking
- Carrying excess body weight
- Unhealthy lifestyle habits
- Toxin exposure
- Being 50 or older
Other cancer risk factors include a poor diet and lack of exercise. Adopting these and similar healthy habits may reduce your risk of developing cancer. Early cancer detection significantly increases your chance of beating the disease.
What can I expect during early cancer detection?
Cancer detection at Atwell Longevity Institute begins with an assessment of your body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and other vital signs.
Your Atwell Longevity Institute provider discusses your medical history, medications, symptoms, and lifestyle habits. They complete a comprehensive physical exam and conduct tests that screen for cancer risk factors.
What happens afterward?
After your Atwell Longevity Institute provider receives the results of early cancer screening, they discuss them with you. They determine if you’re a candidate for additional screenings, such as a mammogram or another imaging procedure, Pap test, prostate cancer screening, colonoscopy, or biopsy.
It’s helpful to make healthy lifestyle modifications and take advantage of medically supervised weight management, dietary supplements, medication management, intravenous (IV) therapy, or peptides at Atwell Longevity Institute. It’s also important to stay active, eat nutrient-dense foods, get enough sleep, and minimize stress. Avoid smoking and limit or avoid alcohol.
