“The inclusion on TIME100 Health’s list is more than a personal honor,” said AmirAli Talasaz, Guardant Health co-CEO. “It is a recognition of the incredible technology that our Guardant team has built with the Shield blood test for colorectal cancer and Shield’s ability to save lives around the world. The result of over 10 years of research and development, the Shield blood test has the promise to detect multiple cancers at an early stage as we work to further advance screening access to empower patients, doctors, and healthcare systems to act sooner, improve treatment decisions, and ultimately save lives from multiple different types of cancers.”
“Being named to TIME100’s Health list is another testament that the dream we had to conquer cancer with data when we founded Guardant Health is coming to fruition and changing lives,” said Helmy Eltoukhy, Guardant Health Chairman and co-CEO. “In addition to the advancements we are making in early detection, our blood tests can replace invasive biopsies and enable cancer patients to get on the right treatments much faster. Guardant is redefining precision oncology, using our technology platform to provide dramatically more insights from cancer data that will allow us to be one step ahead of the disease and lower the total cost of care by knowing more upfront.”
Encouraging data for Guardant’s highly anticipated multi-cancer detection blood test was recently presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, building on the momentum of the FDA-approved Shield blood test for detection of colorectal cancer.
