Decipher

Decipher® is a genomic test that helps predict the aggressiveness of prostate cancer and guides treatment decisions after biopsy or surgery.

Decipher® – Genomic Classifier for Prostate Cancer Treatment Planning

Personalized decision-making for men with prostate cancer.

icon

Risk Stratification: Distinguishes between low and high risk of metastasis or progression

icon

Personalized Care: Informs choice between active surveillance, radiation, or hormone therapy

icon

Post-Surgery Clarity: Predicts likelihood of recurrence after prostatectomy

icon

Clinically Validated: Backed by over 70 peer-reviewed studies and included in NCCN guidelines

icon

Non-Invasive: Requires only a sample of tumor tissue (biopsy or surgical specimen)

What is the Decipher Test?

Decipher® analyzes the activity of 22 genes involved in cancer progression to produce a genomic risk score (low, intermediate, high).
This score helps physicians and patients make more informed decisions about the need for further treatment or the appropriateness of observation.

The Testing Process

01
Tissue Sample Submission

A tumor sample is submitted to the lab (from biopsy or prostatectomy)

02
Gene Expression Analysis

22 genes linked to cancer aggressiveness are analyzed

03
Risk Score Generation

genomic classifier report is created

04
Physician Consultation

Results are reviewed with the patient to guide care planning

Who Should Consider the Test?

icon

Men recently diagnosed with localized prostate cancer considering treatment options

icon

Patients with adverse pathology after prostatectomy

icon

Individuals with rising PSA after surgery to assess risk of recurrence

icon

Men choosing between active surveillance and more aggressive interventions
