About EXACT Sciences Corporation
EXACT Sciences Corporation uses applied genomics to develop screening technologies for use in the detection of cancer. The Company’s primary focus since inception has been on developing screening technologies for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer, which is the most deadly cancer among non-smokers, is generally curable if detected early. Despite the availability of colorectal cancer screening and diagnostic tests for more than 20 years, screening rates for colorectal cancer remain low, and deaths from colorectal cancer remain high. EXACT Sciences believes its genomics-based, non-invasive technologies will help promote increased screening for colorectal cancer. EXACT Sciences is based in Marlborough, Mass.
