Exact Sciences' shares pop on positive Cologuard trial results

Where these studies independent? I don't trust studies conducted by the company selling the product.

Why would there be positive results????? It can’t always mean cancer right

[@888strummer]

Much easier than scheduling with a doctor and doing the common procedure. 100% easier and more pleasant

[@landonp629]

Yes, but its pretty worthless to PREVENT colorectal cancer. A coloscopy allows the doctor to remove pre-cancerous lesions before they become cancer - Cologuard will tell you when you HAVE Cancer (at least 94% of the time).

@@landonp629 I thought it was the same as the doctor's procedure. Are you sure about this?

@@landonp629that’s true. My friend caught 2 polyps and had them removed.

I know it's a good and useful product, but a lot of this conversation sounds like something from Futurama. Whoever named it Cologuard instead of giving it a usual corporate drug name like "Vightify" had a sense of humor.

I did it and it's so easy. My insurance will fully cover the cost every three years, so there's no excuse not to.
