This is a look back at news from the week of . We wrote it on November 11, 2026, from the sources listed at the end.
Whoop opened its Advanced Labs blood testing service to people who do not own its strap in August 2026, Wareable reported. It also added Galleri, a test from the company GRAIL that screens a blood sample for signals linked to more than 50 types of cancer.
US panels are run by Quest Diagnostics and start at around $150.
Why it mattered
Whoop started as a fitness band. Over 2026 it added clinician consultations and then lab tests that need no band at all.
A caution
Screening tests for many cancers at once are new. A positive signal needs follow-up testing to confirm, and a negative result does not rule cancer out. They are an addition to the screenings a doctor recommends. They do not replace them.
