Decipher Prostate RP
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 RP test report.

Home > Decipher Prostate > Physicians > RP Test Report Overview

Page 1 contains the Decipher Score, risk estimates, and an interpretation of the score.

1

1. Decipher Score

  • Determined by tumor biology alone, not influenced by clinicopathologic variables (e.g., Gleason, PSA)
  • 22 genes, 7 biological pathways
  • Continuous genomic risk score
  • 3 categories of risk (low, intermediate, or high)
2

2. Risk Estimates

  • Prostate cancer risk estimates were determined by numerical integration of >30,000 prostate cancer patients with available Decipher scores calibrated to >25,000 patients with long-term follow-up and from published meta-analyses.
  • Risk of 5- & 10-year metastasis and 15-year prostate cancer mortality after radical prostatectomy.

3. Interpretation

Summary based on the patient’s Decipher score & relevant clinical findings from published studies including Decipher.

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

4. Dynamic Report

The report is tailored to the clinical presentation of the patient

5. Risk Comparisons 

  • This patient’s 10-year risk of metastasis is compared to 987 patients with similar clinical features
  • For these patients, Decipher risk groups are distributed as:
    • 35% Low
    • 16% Intermediate
    • 49% High
  • Distribution of risk is dependent on clinical risk group

6. Interpretation

  • Explains risk comparison graph
  • Specifies the percentile of risk for this patient

7. Treatment Graphics

  • Evidence from Decipher Prostate RP studies
  • Radiotherapy Timing (Left)
    • Risk of metastasis with post-RP radiotherapy is dependent on the Decipher score and PSA level at time of treatment
  • Treatment Intensity (Right)
    • Risk of progression to ADT after radiotherapy alone in conjunction with the Decipher score and PSA level can help with the hormone therapy decision

  • Provides detail on the cut-points for Decipher risk groups
