Job Description
A cancer diagnosis is something no one wants to hear. Too often, cancer is detected late, once it has spread and treatment options are limited. But cancer can be more effectively treated with an intent to cure if caught in the earlier stages. At Thrive, an Exact Sciences Company, our goal is to transform this outlook: to catch cancer earlier, including several with no screening options today, to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a blood-based test that is designed to be affordable and utilized as part of routine medical care to detect multiple types of cancer at earlier stages. Our approach goes beyond a cancer diagnosis. We are developing a platform that will serve as a resource to help patients and their families maneuver the often confusing and overwhelming path that follows a cancer diagnosis.
At Thrive, we are motivated to change the face of a cancer diagnosis. We challenge the status quo and are willing to think differently. Our curiosity drives us. There are countless questions related to cancer, and we flourish by finding solutions. We know what we do is important, and we take our work seriously. We also have fun. We do our work with vibrant energy, and we laugh out loud at the little things. This is How We Thrive.
