Business Wire
Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ: EXAS), a leading provider of
cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today announced it will
present ten abstracts at the 2025 American Society of Clinical
Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place May 30–June 3, 2025,
in Chicago, Ill. Presentations include new data on the Oncodetect™
molecular residual disease (MRD) test, multi-cancer early detection
(MCED) testing, the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test, and
the Cologuard® test that underscore Exact Sciences’ expanding
portfolio and commitment to advancing care through scientific
excellence.
“The data Exact Sciences will present at ASCO 2025 reflect the
scientific rigor and clinical significance of our expanding
portfolio and pipeline,” said Dr. Rick Baehner, MD, chief medical
officer, Precision Oncology at Exact Sciences. “From MRD to MCED to
CRC screening, we are advancing evidence-based innovations that
help empower providers and deliver crucial answers to patients.
Every study, partnership, and data point move us closer to a future
where cancer is detected earlier and treated with greater
precision.”
Real-world evidence supporting the Cologuard test continues to
grow, with ongoing research into repeat screening. New data from
prominent experts and research groups reinforce the Oncotype DX®
test as a trusted, evidence-backed tool, further affirming its role
as the standard of care for predicting chemotherapy benefit for
breast cancer patients. Building on more than a decade of
experience with Cologuard and 20 years of leadership with the
Oncotype DX test, Exact Sciences continues to advance the future of
precision oncology and multi-cancer screening.
New Data and Continuous Evidence Generation Underscore the
Oncodetect Test’s Power to Detect Cancer Recurrence. Data from
the Beta-CORRECT study further strengthens the clinical foundation
of the Oncodetect test, confirming its role in helping guide
treatment decisions and surveillance strategies for patients with
stage II–IV colorectal cancer1. Expanding on this evidence to
multiple solid tumor types, Exact Sciences and Flatiron Health
continue enrollment in a multi-year, prospective study evaluating
how MRD testing can improve cancer monitoring and treatment
decisions in community care settings.
New Data Support Promise of MCED as Exact Sciences Prepares
for LDT Launch. A modeling study found annual MCED testing
could reduce late-stage cancer incidence by more than 40% and
mortality by up to 18% in high-risk groups2. Additionally, the
Falcon registry, a large, prospective real-world study of Exact
Sciences’ MCED test, will track 25,000 participants against a
50,000-person standard-care cohort to assess adoption, outcomes,
and patient experience. These findings come as Exact Sciences
prepares to launch Cancerguard™ EX, its MCED lab-developed test
(LDT), in the second half of the year, marking a significant step
in expanding access to earlier cancer detection.
