“We believe our blood-based tests can play a significant role in helping address the growing incidence of cancer in the region, and we look forward to continuing to support patients facing cancer diagnoses as we expand our operations in these markets.”

More than half of the world’s estimated new cancer cases come from Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA).1 This acquisition will allow Guardant Health to directly address the growing cancer burden in the region by accelerating the adoption of the company’s blood tests and services used by healthcare providers to detect and manage cancer across all stages of the disease.

Guardant Health AMEA operations support 41 countries across the region. Near term, the company will prioritize bringing blood-based testing to healthcare providers and to patients with advanced cancer in Japan, where, in March 2022, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) granted regulatory approval of Guardant360 CDx, a liquid biopsy test for tumor mutation profiling in patients with advanced solid tumors.
