EXACT has selected colorectal cancer as the first application of its technologies. Colorectal cancer is the most deadly cancer among non-smokers, and is curable if detected early. Despite the availability of colorectal cancer screening and diagnostic tests for more than 20 years, the rate of early detection of 5 colorectal cancer remains low. EXACT believes its technologies will enable early detection of colorectal cancer so that more people can be effectively treated. Founded in 1995, EXACT is based in Maynard, MA.
