About EXACT Sciences Corporation
EXACT Sciences Corporation is a pioneer in applying genomics to solve large clinical needs. Its DNA-based assay, PreGen-Plus(TM), is intended for the early detection of colorectal cancer in the average-risk population. The Company also has developed PreGen-26(TM), intended to detect colorectal cancer in a high-risk group of patients. Colorectal cancer, which is the most deadly cancer among non-smokers, is curable if detected early. Despite the availability of colorectal cancer screening and diagnostic tests for more than 20 years, however, the rate of early detection of colorectal cancer remains low, and deaths from colorectal cancer remain high. EXACT Sciences believes its genomics-based technologies will enable early detection of colorectal cancer so that more people can be effectively treated. Founded in 1995, EXACT Sciences is based in Marlborough, Mass. Detailed information on EXACT Sciences and PreGen-Plus can be found on the World Wide Web at www.exactsciences.com and www.pregenplus.com.
