Positive Cologuard results produced1-4:

Significantly higher rate of precancer diagnoses*

More clinically relevant precancer diagnoses†

More histologically advanced findings‡

Compared to average-risk screening colonoscopy and colonoscopy following a positive FIT result.1-4

  • *Overall neoplasia diagnosis in colonoscopies after a positive mt-sDNA test was 15% higher vs screening colonoscopy (47% vs 32%, respectively).4
  • †Colonoscopies following positive mt-sDNA results detected 12% more clinically relevant serrated polyps vs colonoscopy only (20.9% vs 8.6%, respectively).2
  • ‡Patients with positive mt-sDNA results had more histologically advanced findings vs those with positive FIT results (P=0.0054) and those who only underwent colonoscopy (P<0.0001).1
