Guardant Health (Nasdaq: GH) has expanded its testing portfolio by introducing a comprehensive immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing suite for solid tumors. The new tests detect specific proteins (biomarkers) in tissue samples to help oncologists identify tumor characteristics and match patients with targeted therapies. The IHC suite covers key biomarkers including HER2, MMR, PD-L1, c-MET, ER, PR, Ki-67, CLDN18, and FOLR1.
This addition complements Guardant's existing Guardant360 Tissue multiomic tumor profiling test. Notably, the suite includes testing for c-MET, which is crucial for identifying patients eligible for the newly FDA-approved Emrelis™ treatment for c-MET-expressing non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Guardant Health has presented promising data for its Shield Multi-Cancer Detection (MCD) test, demonstrating strong performance across 10 cancer types. The blood-based test achieved 98.5% specificity and 60% overall sensitivity, with notably higher sensitivity of 74% for six aggressive cancers including esophageal-gastric, hepatocellular, lung, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers.
Key findings from the blinded case-control study of 778 individuals include:
- 89% accuracy in cancer signal origin prediction
- Sensitivity ranging from 96% (esophageal-gastric) to 21% (prostate)
- Strong performance in detecting aggressive cancers through a simple blood draw
The test's impressive results have led to its selection by the National Cancer Institute for inclusion in their upcoming Vanguard Study. This development represents a significant step forward in early cancer detection technology, potentially offering a new screening option for earlier diagnosis when treatment is more effective.
Guardant Health (Nasdaq: GH) has launched Guardant360 Tissue, a groundbreaking molecular profiling test for tumor tissue that combines comprehensive multiomics analysis. The test analyzes DNA, RNA, AI-powered PD-L1, and exome-wide methylation data to provide a more complete cancer profile.
Powered by the Guardant Infinity smart liquid biopsy platform, the test examines 742 DNA genes and fusions in 367 RNA genes, while requiring 92% less tissue surface area than industry standards. This efficiency allows testing with 40% fewer slides, enabling more patients to qualify for testing compared to conventional methods where over 50% of samples typically fail surface area requirements.
The advanced test offers enhanced insights for PARP-inhibitors and immunotherapies, while enabling better tumor classification and subtyping. Results are available within two weeks, and the test is covered by Medicare for eligible patients.
