In a cohort at average risk for colorectal cancer, a cell-free DNA blood-based test had 83% sensitivity for colorectal cancer, 90% specificity for advanced neoplasia, and 13% sensitivity for advanced precancerous lesions. Full ECLIPSE study results: nej.md/3v0J319

TFW your company debuts their new test in the New England Journal of Medicine!!! 👏👏👏👏 perfect timing during #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth
We are on our way to closing the #ColorectalCancer screening gap with our Shield blood test. Results of our 20,000-patient ECLIPSE study are now published in @NEJM, reinforcing the validity of the test. Read more: investors.guardanthealth.com…

My colleague (and friend) is pretty darn impressive!
MSI-H as a biomarker has come so far from when I started in (germline) genetics clinic. Loved leading this work alongside an esteemed group of clinicians and publish ctDNA's reliable ability to rapidly identify patients who may benefit from IO. What's next?! Onward!! 🚀

We know that #ComprehensiveMolecularGenotyping is essential in patients with advanced #NSCLC - but do we know if availability of results impacts #Survival? In a real world cohort study, we asked this question @MMarmarelis - out now in @JCOPO_ASCO @ASCO 👉🏽tinyurl.com/2mnbnsxw

An Illumina and Optum ASCO poster showed in payer claims data that 43% to 78% of patients with various advanced cancers did not receive ANY biomarker testing at all- despite a wealth of studies and guidelines supporting genomic profiling. Time to cover multi-cancer NGS panels?

This data mirrors 2023 study showing that only 50% of NSCLC patients and only 29% of CRC patie had ANY molecular testing (excludes IHC by itself) and as few as 5% received targeted therapy. (Roberts et al.)

One thing I love about #genechat is that when new GCs talk ab an issue like challenges and delays in Board exam or results- I don’t see many “well we had it way worse” posts. I see empathy and advocacy on behalf of our colleagues. That’s just nice and I like it 🤗🤗🤗
