FDA Panel Backs Galleri, but Fraud Lawsuits Loom
FDA Panel Endorses Galleri An FDA advisory panel voted 6-4 that Galleri is effective, 10-0 safe, and 7-2 that benefits outweigh risks. This clears a major hurdle toward expected early-2027 approval and potential Medicare and private insurance coverage.
