Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ: EXAS), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, announced the company will present modeling data evaluating the simulated benefit and burden of established CRC screening strategies, including the Cologuard Plus test during the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Meeting. ACG takes place October 25-30, 2024, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Exact Sciences will also present new data on improving adherence to help close the gap in CRC screening. ACG abstracts are available on their website.

“Exact Sciences is pleased to share new modeling data which demonstrates the Cologuard Plus test as an efficient CRC screening strategy across modeled age ranges and screening intervals, given its high sensitivity and specificity for both cancer and precancer,” said Paul Limburg, MD, MPH, AGAF, chief medical officer for Screening, Exact Sciences. “The data demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation to deliver best in class, patient-centric cancer screening and diagnostic solutions.”

Researchers used a validated simulation model to assess the benefit to burden ratio of the Cologuard Plus test and other established and emerging CRC screening options. Benefit was defined as life-years gained and burden as the lifetime number of colonoscopies.
