Exact Sciences' Cancer Screening Foothold Is Strong, but Liquid Biopsy Pipeline Not Derisked Yet

Exact Sciences has a multipronged approach to cancer testing. Current products are Cologuard, its flagship stool-based screening test for colorectal cancer, or CRC, and Oncotype Dx, its tissue-based genomic profiling platform with widespread use in breast cancer. It has a promising pipeline in the nascent liquid biopsy market, including a tissue-informed molecular residual disease, or MRD, test, a blood-based CRC screening test, and a multicancer early detection, or MCED, test.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Cologuard’s staying power is underappreciated. It could take years for liquid biopsy to steal share, and Cologuard’s market share could soar past 10%.

Bears

Exact has yet to reach profitability, and the market is giving the company credit for significant future success despite historical lack of profitability.
