Decipher Prostate Biopsy Test Report Overview
We want you to feel confident in every treatment decision you make using Decipher Prostate for your patients with prostate cancer, beginning with a clear understanding of how to interpret the key components of the biopsy test report.
Page 1 contains the Decipher Score, risk estimates, and an interpretation of the score.
1. Decipher Score
- Determined by tumor biology alone, not influenced by clinicopathologic risk factors (e.g., Gleason, PSA)
- 22 genes, 7 biological pathways
- Continuous genomic risk score
- 3 categories (low, intermediate, high)
2. Risk Estimates
- Prostate cancer risk estimates were determined by numerical integration of >22,000 prostate cancer patients with available Decipher scores calibrated to >40,000 patients with long-term follow-up from published meta-analyses.
- Risk of 5- & 10-year metastasis and 15-year prostate cancer mortality with definitive treatment relevant to this patient’s clinical risk group
- Adverse pathology at time of RP: Grade Group 3-5, pT3b-T4, or lymph node involvement
3. Interpretation
Summary based on the patient’s genomic risk & relevant clinical findings
Page 2 contains case analysis, interpretation, and clinical findings.
4. Dynamic Report
The report is tailored to the clinical presentation of the patient
5. Interpretation
- This patient’s 10-year risk of metastasis is compared to 6,299 patients with similar clinical features
- For these patients, Decipher risk groups are distributed as:
- 61% Low
- 18% Intermediate
- 21% High
- Distribution of risk is dependent on clinical risk group
6. Risk Comparisons
- Explains risk comparison graphic
- Specifies this patient’s percentile of risk relative to patients with similar clinical features
7. Clinical Findings
Clinical study results relevant to this patient
Page 3 contains a test description, intended use info, confidence intervals, and references.
8. Test Description
- How the test is performed
- Definitions for each of the endpoints reported
- Provides detail on the cut-points for Decipher risk groups
9. Intended Use
Decipher Prostate Biopsy is intended for use in men with localized prostate cancer after surgery with undetectable, persistent, or rising PSA
10. Confidence Intervals
The 95% confidence interval for each endpoint reported
