MADISON, Wis., Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS) announced data published today in
Cancer Prevention Research, a Journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, that expands on foundational clinical study findings to include a key younger population. Study results show that among average-risk adults between the ages of 45 and 49 Cologuard® (mt-sDNA) demonstrated test specificity of 95.2% in participants with non-advanced precancerous lesions or negative findings at colonoscopy and 96.3% in only those with negative colonoscopy findings. These analyses support potential risk mitigation and cost prevention due to unnecessary diagnostic procedures when using Cologuard as a colorectal cancer screening tool in this younger population.
