Negative results

A negative result means the test did not find signals of cancer in your blood* — 97% of tests will come back negative.1,3

Negative result action plan:

Cancer signal detected

Positive results

A positive result means that the test found a signal of cancer.* This does not mean you have cancer, but does mean that additional testing is needed.2,3

Positive result action plan:

Your health care provider may take additional steps, like ordering imaging scans or other medical tests, that may be needed to locate and confirm a possible cancer or to rule out that cancer is present.2,4
Exact Sciences can work with you to schedule follow up tests.

* False negative and false positive results can occur. A false negative result means the test did not find signals of cancer, but a person does have cancer. A false positive result means the test found signals of cancer, but a person doesn’t have cancer.
