How does the Guardant360 CDx test work?
Guardant360 CDx is a simple blood test which analyses 74 genes within your existing solid cancer tumour DNA, to provide cancer genomic alterations detected in your blood.
Some genomic alterations may mean you are more likely to respond to certain drugs, or, indicate your cancer could be resistant to treatment. An oncologist will interpret results to inform the best treatment for you.
The report will highlight current approved drugs available and drugs currently available on clinical trial.
Traditionally, the only way to analyse genomic changes in your cancer was through tissue biopsies. The Guardant360 CDx test can provide the same information from a simple blood draw.
How often should I test?
Testing frequency depends on your condition – the Oncologist will advise a test schedule that works best for you.
When will I get my results?
The results are typically returned to you via email within 7 working days of reaching the lab.
