Dow Jones Description

EXACT Sciences Corporation is a molecular diagnostics company focused on colorectal cancer. Our non-invasive stool-based DNA (sDNA) screening technology includes proprietary and patented methods that isolate and analyze human DNA present in stool to screen for the presence of colorectal pre-cancer and cancer. We believe that our proprietary methods and technologies have several advantages over other screening options that may ultimately lead to decreased mortality associated with colorectal cancer, which is the third leading cause of cancer death overall, the second leading cause of death from cancers that affect both men and women, and the leading cause of cancer death among non-smokers in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that 80-90 million people in the United States are eligible for colorectal cancer screening. The Company will approach this market opportunity by remaining focused on key priorities. The Companys priorities for 2009 are: 1) product development, 2) clinical trial planning and 3) creating a performance culture. Currently, we license certain of our colorectal cancer screening technologies on an exclusive basis in the U.S. and Canada through December 2010 to Laboratory Corporation of America ® Holdings, or LabCorp ® . LabCorp has developed and commercially offers a non-invasive stool-based DNA (sDNA) colorectal cancer screening service for the average-risk population, which is based on certain of our technologies.
