Exact Sciences announces launch of Cologuard Plus test

Exact Sciences (EXAS) announced the launch of Cologuard Plus, which it calls “the most accurate noninvasive colorectal cancer screening test reported in studies to date.” The company added: “FDA-approved for average-risk patients 45+ and covered by Medicare, the Cologuard Plus test detects 95% of colorectal cancers at 94% specificity in the U.S. screening population. This performance means fewer unnecessary follow-up colonoscopies – up to a 40% reduction compared to the original Cologuard test – and greater confidence in results.”
