(NASDAQ: EXAS), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today celebrated the passage of landmark federal legislation that establishes a pathway to enable Medicare coverage for multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests. Nearly 70% of annual cancer cases and deaths in the U.S. occur in cancers with no recommended screening,<sup>1,2 <\/sup>and cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the U.S.<sup>1<\/sup> By aligning public policy with scientific innovation and patient need, this legislation represents a critical step toward addressing that unmet need and expanding access to this emerging technology for millions of Medicare beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p>\nBased on the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, the legislation establishes a clear coverage framework for MCED tests following U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and subsequent Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) implementation. The legislation is backed by overwhelming bipartisan support, reflecting growing recognition of the urgent need to detect more cancers earlier.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a historic day in the fight against cancer. We are deeply grateful to lawmakers, especially Representatives Terri Sewell (D-AL) and Jodey Arrington (R-TX), patient advocates, and all those who fought tirelessly for this groundbreaking legislation,\u201d said Kevin Conroy, chairman and CEO of Exact Sciences. \u201cMost importantly, we are thrilled for the countless individuals whose lives will be impacted by these tests, potentially giving them more opportunities to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and precious moments with their loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBuilding on decades of scientific research, Exact Sciences\u2019 Cancerguard\u00ae test is designed to detect signals associated with a wide range of cancers from a simple blood draw, with the goal of identifying disease at earlier, more treatable stages. The test remains under continued clinical evaluation and is intended to complement \u2014 not replace \u2014 guideline-recommended cancer screenings. The Cancerguard test can help detect cancer types that often go undetected and account for a significant share of annual diagnoses in the U.S.<sup>1<\/sup> Modelling suggests Exact Sciences\u2019 MCED technology has the potential to slash stage IV cancer diagnoses by 45% when added to standard-of-care screening.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><b>About the Cancerguard\u00ae<sup \/>test<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nCancerguard\u00ae is a laboratory-developed test (LDT) from Exact Sciences designed to detect multiple cancers, including the most aggressive cancers, in early stages from a simple blood draw. It integrates two classes of biomarkers to enable broader detection and follows a streamlined, imaging-based diagnostic pathway to help reduce unnecessary follow-up procedures. Developed with high specificity to minimize false positives, the test targets a wide range of cancers, including those that lack guideline-recommended screening options. The Cancerguard test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory authority.
