Abbott study links Cologuard screening to 54% lower colorectal cancer incidence

• Abbott flagged new real-world studies on its Cologuard stool DNA screening test, with results already presented at ACG 2026.
• Research linked completing the test to fewer colorectal cancer diagnoses versus non-completion in a nationwide cohort of average-risk adults.
• A separate case-control analysis associated prior screening completion with lower odds of death following a colorectal cancer diagnosis.
• Data support the commercial case for stool-based screening by tying usage to long-term outcomes, not just test performance.
