Blood-based screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) fits right in

Increase CRC screening compliance with a simple blood draw at any patient visit.1

Accurate blood-based screening.1 Simply done.

75% of people who died from CRC were not up to date with screening3
Patients who are not up to date with screening are at increased risk of CRC mortality2CRC remains the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.3 Breaking down barriers and getting patients screened is more crucial than ever.4 See CRC screening barriers

Guardant Health has advanced our technology to include screening for early CRC detection5,9

We are dedicated to supporting patients with cancer across the continuum of care. NCI and NCCN cancer centers use Guardant Health’s existing blood-based tests to inform treatment decisions for patients with early- and late-stage cancer.10 Guardant Health is now leveraging the same technology for a blood test that detects CRC early, when it’s more treatable.3,5,9 See our expanding legacy

Shield™ is a qualitative laboratory developed test intended to detect colorectal cancer by identifying genomic and epigenomic alterations in cell-free DNA in plasma from blood collected in Guardant blood collection tubes.
  • The assay is intended to be complementary to and not a replacement for current recommended colorectal cancer screening methods
  • Patients with an "abnormal signal detected" Shield test result should be referred for colonoscopic evaluation
  • A "normal signal detected" Shield test result does not preclude the presence of colorectal cancer, and patients should continue participating in guideline-recommended screening programs
  • Shield was developed, and its performance characteristics determined, by the Guardant Health Clinical Laboratory in Redwood City, CA, USA, which is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical testing. This test has not been cleared or approved by the US FDA
