Exact Sciences Corp Stock Price, News & Analysis

Exact Sciences (NASDAQ: EXAS) announced a modeling study published in JNCI showing Cologuard Plus, a triennial next‑generation mt‑sDNA test, was the only noninvasive option classified as efficient for screening ages 45–75, delivering the most life‑years gained with the fewest colonoscopies.

The study used the validated CRC‑AIM microsimulation and CISNET methodology, incorporated new clinical data, and reported Cologuard Plus sensitivity of 95% for CRC and specificity of 94% in U.S. screening‑age adults.

Findings note annual FIT was near‑efficient; mt‑RNA and blood‑based tests were not efficient at recommended intervals.

Exact Sciences (NASDAQ: EXAS) has partnered with horror film actor Matthew Lillard to promote colorectal cancer screening through their Cologuard® test. The SCREEN campaign aims to reduce fear around colon cancer screening, highlighting Cologuard as a noninvasive, at-home testing option for those 45 and older.

The campaign emphasizes that Cologuard has been used over 20 million times since FDA approval in 2014. When detected early, colon cancer has a 90% survival rate. The test requires no special preparation and can be completed at home, making it a convenient screening option for individuals at average risk of colorectal cancer.

Exact Sciences (NASDAQ: EXAS) has launched Cancerguard™, a groundbreaking multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood test priced at $689. The test is the first to analyze multiple biomarker classes and can detect over 50 cancer types, including those responsible for 80% of annual U.S. cancer diagnoses.

Key performance metrics include 68% sensitivity across six deadliest cancers, 64% overall sensitivity across broader cancer types, and 97.4% specificity. The test can detect more than a third of Stage I or II cancers. Modeling suggests that over 10 years, using Cancerguard alongside current screening methods could reduce Stage IV diagnoses by 42% and lower cancer mortality by 18%.

Nationwide accessibility will be facilitated through Quest Diagnostics' 7,000 patient access sites, with broader consumer telehealth access starting October 2025.
