Improving Care for Breast Cancer via Precision Oncology
With its Oncotype DX test and continuing genomic profiling research, Exact Sciences is playing a pivotal role in enhancing the treatment of breast cancer. EXAS will submit ten abstracts showcasing the whole range of capabilities of its Precision Oncology portfolio at the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), which will take place from December 10–13.
This includes cutting-edge solutions such as the OncoExTra test and the anticipated molecular residual disease monitoring test. The Oncotype DX test has been a cornerstone in personalized cancer treatment for over 20 years, aiding clinicians and patients in making informed decisions. New findings presented at SABCS further establish its value, including insights into its ability to optimize chemotherapy use and address diverse patient needs across all stages of cancer care.
Promoting Equity in Cancer Treatment
Exact Sciences’ research emphasizes the importance of equity in breast cancer care. Notably, retrospective studies reveal that African American women often exhibit higher Recurrence Score results compared to non-Hispanic White women, though survival outcomes remain similar. These findings highlight the need for deeper research into racial disparities and the factors driving them.
Additionally, data from Japan will demonstrate how the Oncotype DX test supports cost-effective treatment planning in diverse settings. By collaborating with leading experts and research institutions, Exact Sciences (EXAS) continues to drive innovation, ensuring that precision oncology advances benefit patients globally.
