REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Guardant Health®, the leader in comprehensive liquid biopsies, announced it will present data on the somatic genomic landscape found in more than 15,000 clinical Guardant360® samples at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) June 3-7 in Chicago.

The presentation is one of 15 abstracts highlighting the performance and clinical utility of Guardant Health's digital sequencing technology accepted for oral and poster presentations at ASCO this year. Collaborators from UC Davis Cancer Center, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Thomas Jefferson University, University of California, San Francisco, UC San Diego Moore's Cancer Center, University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Avera Cancer Institute, The West Clinic, Samsung Medical Center and NovellusDx will present their findings about Guardant360 as applied to a variety of cancer types and applications.

Guardant360, the first and most validated comprehensive liquid biopsy, has been used by more than 2,000 oncologists to help match patients with advanced cancer to targeted therapies. Guardant Health's digital sequencing platform allows for comprehensive analysis of all major classes of somatic tumor alterations from a simple blood draw, with near-perfect specificity and high sensitivity. Guardant360 can detect alterations in fragments of circulating tumor DNA at levels as low as 0.1% mutant allele fractions.
