Patients who are not up to date with screening
are at increased risk of CRC mortality1

Did you know?

Over 75% of people who died from CRC
were not up to date with screening1

CRC remains the second-leading
cause of cancer-related deaths in
the United States.2

CRC screening can drastically increase survival outcomes when detected early2

5-YEAR SURVIVAL RATE

BASED ON STAGE OF DIAGNOSIS2

Early Stage
(I-II)
91%
Late Stage
(IV)
16%
Sadly, low screening compliance may contribute to over half of patients
getting diagnosed after their disease has spread.2,3

CRC screening compliance rates remain stagnant and low with current stool tests and colonoscopy4

Many factors can prevent patient follow-through for more conventional methods5-8

  Stool tests Colonoscopy
Barriers
Stool tests
  • Disgust with handling stool
  • Hassle to complete
  • Apprehension about accurately completing a test at home

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 result should be referred for colonoscopic evaluation
  • A “normal signal detected” Shield 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
