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 risk factors (e.g., Gleason, PSA)
  • 22 genes, 7 biological pathways
  • Continuous genomic risk score
  • 3 categories (low, intermediate, high)
 2

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

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
