I know firsthand how frightening a diagnosis can be, but I also know the difference that early detection, timely care, and access to the right screening tools can make,\u201d said bill sponsor Representative Pat Gallager.<b \/>\u201cThe research is clear: more people complete and prefer the FDA-approved blood test for colorectal cancer screening, given its ease of use. And when more people get screened, more cancers are caught early, giving Pennsylvanians diagnosed more time for treatment, more time with family, and a greater chance at a healthier life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly detection saves lives, and we must do everything we can to make colorectal cancer screening more accessible to Pennsylvanians,\u201d said Senator Devlin Robinson. \u201cThis <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsenatorrobinson.com%2F2026%2F10%2F20%2Frobinson-applauds-passage-of-colorectal-cancer-screening-legislation%2F&amp;esheet=54631158&amp;newsitemid=20261029585344&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=legislation&amp;index=3&amp;md5=253b2fdea078cfc321853ec202b2f318\">legislation<\/a> will help remove the barriers that keep too many people from getting screened. While colonoscopy remains the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, we know different options can make a difference in whether someone follows through with testing and the best screening test is the one a patient completes. Giving patients and providers more evidence-based options can help us detect cancer earlier and ultimately save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania House Bill 1123 applies to state-regulated plans and Medicaid. The new law will go into effect December 21, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Shield<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Shield is a methylation partitioning cell-free DNA (mp-cfDNA) non-invasive, blood-based screening test that detects alterations associated with colorectal cancer in the blood. It is intended as a screening test for individuals at average risk for the disease, age 45 or older, and is not intended for individuals at high risk for colorectal cancer. The Shield test can be considered in a manner similar to guideline-recommended non-invasive CRC screening options and can be completed during any healthcare visit. A positive Shield result raises concern for the presence of colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma and the patient should be referred for colonoscopy evaluation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Guardant Health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guardant Health is a leading precision oncology company focused on guarding wellness and giving every person more time free from cancer.
