The Cologuard journey
Hear the game-changing story of developing the Cologuard test, the first and only method using mt-sDNA technology to screen for CRC and precancerous polyps. From having one of the largest clinical trials for a diagnostic tool up to that point, to getting FDA approval and Medicare coverage on the same day, to being included in United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and American Cancer Society (ACS) guidance, Exact Sciences and the Cologuard test have brought innovation to CRC screening. Since 2014, healthcare providers have prescribed millions of Cologuard tests, leading to better outcomes for >13 million patients.1-4*†

- The USPSTF found adequate evidence that screening eligible patients aged 45 to 49 years provides a moderate benefit in reducing CRC deaths and increasing life-years gained. USPSTF-recommended screening modalities include stool-based tests or direct visualization tests.3
- The ACS makes a qualified recommendation for screening in eligible patients aged 45 to 49 years, indicating clear evidence of benefit of screening but less certainty about the balance of benefits, harms, and patient preferences. ACS-recommended screening modalities include high-sensitivity stool-based tests or structural (visual) examinations.4
- The USPSTF concludes with moderate certainty that screening for CRC in adults aged 45-49 years has moderate net benefit (Grade B).3
