| FDA approves new blood test to screen for colon cancer | The FDA has approved Guardant Health's Shield blood test for colon cancer screening, a significant step that could boost screening rates for this deadly disease. Although not a replacement for colonoscopies, the test's approval is expected to make it more accessible and affordable, thanks to potential coverage by Medicare and private insurance. The Shield test has previously been available at a hefty out-of-pocket cost but will now likely see broader adoption. | Shield has shown an 83% effectiveness in detecting colorectal cancers, particularly in later stages when tumors release more detectable DNA into the bloodstream. However, it's less effective for early-stage polyps, and a positive result will still require a follow-up colonoscopy for confirmation. Experts believe this test could greatly impact screening rates, especially among those who find traditional colonoscopies challenging. | With a troubling rise in colon cancer among younger adults, the availability of a less invasive screening option like Shield could be a game-changer. For those who have avoided colonoscopy due to its invasive nature or the prep involved, Shield offers a promising alternative.
