Guardant Health to showcase new data at ASCO GI 2023 demonstrating utility of its blood tests for patients with gastrointestinal cancers

Presentations to highlight role of Guardant liquid biopsy tests and real-world data to help identify actionable biomarkers and predict disease recurrence and response to therapy

Guardant Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GH), a leading precision oncology company, announced today that new data from its portfolio of blood tests will be presented at the ASCO 2023 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, January 19-21 in San Francisco.

The 10 poster presentations highlight the use of the Guardant360® and Guardant RevealTM blood tests and the GuardantINFORMTM real-world evidence dataset to identify critical biomarkers and acquired co-mutations, track associated treatment patterns and clinical outcomes, and predict disease recurrence from minimal residual disease (MRD) detection.

“We look forward to sharing new data at the ASCO GI Symposium demonstrating the utility of our blood tests and real-world data to increase the understanding of potential biomarker targets for therapy, as well as predictive markers for treatment resistance and disease recurrence in patients with gastrointestinal cancers,” said Helmy Eltoukhy, Guardant Health co-CEO. “The presentations will show how data from circulating tumor DNA tests provide critical insights that can contribute to the development of more effective therapies and better-informed patient care.”
