GenomeDx Biosciences' Decipher Tests and Decipher GRID to be Featured in Multiple Presentations at 2018 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- GenomeDx Biosciences, a leader in the field of urologic cancer genomics, today announced that its Decipher® Prostate Biopsy, Prostate RP and Bladder TURBT as well as analysis from the Decipher Genomics Resource Information Database (Decipher GRID®) registry will be featured in oral and poster presentations at the 2018 Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Symposium, held February 8-10, 2018, in San Francisco, California. The 2018 GU Cancers Symposium is the premier scientific and educational meeting designed to meet the needs of physicians and other members of the cancer care and research community who diagnose, treat and study malignancies in the genitourinary system, which includes the organs of the reproductive and urinary systems.
"This year, the GU Cancers Symposium will include a record number of abstracts featuring Decipher tests and Decipher GRID registry studies, demonstrating the applicability of our platform across a broad population of prostate and bladder cancer patients," said Doug Dolginow, MD, chief executive officer of GenomeDx. "We applaud the physicians and institutions conducting these studies, and are focused on working with the medical community to establish Decipher as a standard of care."

About Decipher Cancer Classifier Tests and GRID
GenomeDx's Decipher prostate and bladder cancer classifier tests are commercially available genomic tests that provide a genomic assessment of tumor aggressiveness for individual patients. Decipher Biopsy is indicated for men with localized prostate cancer at diagnosis, Decipher RP is indicated for men after prostate removal surgery, and Decipher Bladder is indicated for patients being considered for neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to bladder removal surgery. The Decipher tests are used by physicians to stratify patients into more accurate risk groups than determined by traditional diagnostic tools and to help determine which patients may be more likely to benefit from additional treatment.
The Decipher tests are derived from GenomeDx's Decipher Genomics Resource Information Database (GRID). GRID contains the genomic profiles of tens of thousands of tumors from patients with urological cancers, and is believed by GenomeDx to be the largest shared genomic expression database in urologic cancer as well as one of the world's largest global RNA expression databases using cloud-based analytics. Each tumor analyzed with a Decipher test adds new data to the GRID database, which is compiled into a Decipher GRID Profile that may reveal additional biological characteristics of the tumor for ongoing research purposes. Going beyond risk stratification, Decipher and GRID make genetic information accessible for researchers to predict responses to therapy better and to guide treatment more precisely. In addition, GRID is a platform for interactive research collaboration, and may enable more rapid discovery, development, commercialization and adoption of new genomic solutions for key clinical questions in cancer treatment.
