Abstract:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among men and women combined in the USA. Although the benefits of early CRC detection are widely recognized, screening rates are suboptimal. Cologuard is a multitarget stool DNA screening test that offers a unique non-invasive option for CRC screening.

This parallel review process shortened the overall review for Cologuard and resulted in a preliminary National Coverage Determination that coincided with FDA approval.
