Exact Sciences Advances Breast Cancer Care with the Oncotype DX® test and Genomic Profiling Research at SABCS 2024
New data supports the value of the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test in guiding treatment decisions, improving outcomes, and managing costs for breast cancer patients globally
MADISON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, will present 10 abstracts demonstrating the breadth of its Precision Oncology portfolio at the 2024 annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium® (SABCS®) from December 10-13 in San Antonio, Texas.
“Exact Sciences is committed to improving breast cancer care by providing actionable insights that support informed treatment decisions and help achieve the best outcomes for patients across all backgrounds,” said Dr. Rick Baehner, Chief Medical Officer, Precision Oncology at Exact Sciences. “For 20 years, the Oncotype DX test has led the way in personalized treatment planning, and the new findings presented at SABCS reinforce its trusted role among clinicians, research institutions, and patients alike. With the addition of our OncoExTra® test and our anticipated molecular residual disease monitoring test, we’re equipping clinicians with innovative solutions to support patient needs throughout every stage of cancer care.”
In collaboration with leading breast cancer experts and research groups, Exact Sciences will share data highlighting how the Oncotype DX test helps guide effective chemotherapy use in everyday practice and clinical trials. New findings from Japan will show how the test supports decision making in breast cancer treatment and can help manage costs. Additionally, retrospective findings reveal African American women are more likely to have higher Recurrence Score® results than non-Hispanic White women, with similar survival outcomes. These insights emphasize how the Oncotype DX test can support more equitable breast cancer care across diverse populations and the need for further research to better understand factors behind racial disparities that currently exist.

About Exact Sciences’ Precision Oncology portfolio
Exact Sciences’ Precision Oncology portfolio delivers actionable genomic insights to inform prognosis and cancer treatment after a diagnosis. In breast cancer, the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test is the only test shown to predict the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit as well as recurrence in invasive breast cancer. The Oncotype DX test is recognized as the standard of care and is included in all major breast cancer treatment guidelines. The OncoExTra test applies comprehensive tumor profiling, utilizing whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing, to aid in therapy selection for patients with advanced, metastatic, refractory, relapsed, or recurrent cancer. With an extensive panel of approximately 20,000 genes and 169 introns, the OncoExTra test is one of the most comprehensive genomic (DNA) and transcriptomic (RNA) panels available today. The Riskguard® hereditary cancer test provides an individualized patient report that includes gene-specific and familial risks using a simple blood or saliva sample for 10 common cancers: colorectal, breast, prostate, skin, ovarian, endometrial, pancreatic, gastric, kidney, and endocrine. Exact Sciences enables patients to take a more active role in their cancer care and makes it easy for providers to order tests, interpret results, and personalize medicine.
