Pathfinder 2 Study
Join the Pathfinder 2 Study with Henry Ford Health to find cancer early!
Help improve early cancer detection
Too often, cancer goes undetected until it is at an advanced stage and harder to treat. The fear and worry about the possibility of having cancer can feel debilitating. Therefore, taking steps to find cancer early can help you feel more in control of your health. Earlier detection of cancer will also improve the chance of survival and quality of life.
A blood test designed to detect multiple types of cancer
The PATHFINDER 2 Study will test the performance of a multi-cancer early detection test, called Galleri®. The test can detect many types of cancer through a simple blood draw.
This test is being studied and is not approved or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is not meant to replace the cancer screening tests your healthcare provider may recommend, such as colonoscopy or mammography.

The PATHFINDER 2 Study is currently open to those who:
- Are 50 years or older who receive care at Henry Ford Health
- Have never been diagnosed with cancer
- Or have been cancer-free at least three years
