Exact Sciences is a cancer diagnostic company that provides genomic and companion diagnostic (CDx) tests to guide personalized cancer treatment. Its portfolio includes main products Cologuard and Oncotype DX for screening and therapy selection in colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers.

Operating on a B2B2C model, Exact offers its testing services to healthcare providers and hospitals globally. As of March 2023, the company had served over 4 million patients across 90 countries and commercially launched seven testing products.
