OUR FLAGSHIP TESTS

SCREENING

Cologuard® is the first and only FDA-approved,non-invasive,multi-target,stool-based colorectal cancer screening test. There are nearly 110 million Americans at average risk for colorectal cancer who should be screened regularly. Today, an estimated 60 million of them are not up to date with screening recommendations. The Cologuard test has helped screen more than 14 million people since it was made available in 2014 and has captured about 10% of the addressable market. Our long- term goal is to help meaningfully increase colorectal cancer screening rates and eradicate this terrible disease by capturing 40% of the market with Cologuard, which equates to about

$7 billion in revenue.

PRECISION ONCOLOGY

The Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® is the only test that can predict, with precision, the individual benefit of chemotherapy and risk of recurrence for early-stage breast cancer patients, as published in the landmark TAILORxand RxPONDERtrials. The Oncotype DX test is internationally recognized as standard of care for patients with early- stage, HR-positive,HER2-negative breast cancer.

The OncoExTra® test gives doctors and their late-stage cancer patients a complete molecular picture of the patient's cancer to help inform treatment options. It is a comprehensive DNA- and RNA-based genomic test that provides reliable and actionable results personalized to each patient. The OncoExTra test works by profiling the entire exome (DNA) and transcriptome (RNA) across approximately 20,000 genes.
