1. Dynamic Report

The report is tailored to the clinical presentation of this patient

2

2. Decipher Score

  • Reflects genomic risk of metastasis
  • Determined by tumor biology alone, independent of clinical & pathological factors (e.g., Gleason, PSA)
  • 22 genes, 7 biological pathways
  • Continuous genomic risk score classified as low, intermediate or high

3. Interpretation

Summary based on this patient’s genomic risk & relevant clinical findings

4

4. Risk Estimates

  • Calibrated to outcomes of patients treated with definitive therapy appropriate for this patient’s NCCN risk group
    • Metastasis at 5 & 10 years
    • Prostate Cancer Mortality at 15 years
    • Adverse Pathology at RP (Grade Group 3-5, pT3b-T4, or lymph node involvement)

Page 2 contains case analysis, interpretation, and clinical findings.
