Genomic Classifier in Prostate Cancer: High-Risk VL

Precision Risk Assessment in Prostate Cancer: Growing Utility in NCCN Guidelines - Rashid Sayyid & Zachary Klaassen

Details
Rashid Sayyid and Zach Klaassen discuss the 2024 updates to the NCCN Prostate Cancer Guidelines, highlighting the integration of the Decipher Genomic Classifier tests across various stages of prostate cancer management. This detailed conversation explores the progression from the 2023 guidelines, emphasizing the evolution of risk stratification tools from prognostic to the now predictive capabilit...

Deciphering Prostate Cancer: How Genomic Biomarkers are Shaping Treatment Decisions - Paul Nguyen

Details
Neil Desai and Paul Nguyen discuss the integration of the Decipher® genomic biomarker in prostate cancer treatment. The conversation centers on two trials, NRG-GU009 and GU010, which utilize Decipher® genomic classifiers to tailor treatment intensity, particularly in hormonal therapy. Dr. Nguyen emphasizes the shift from traditional metrics like PSA and Gleason scores to more precise genomic class...

Correlation and Validation of Gene Expression Classifiers in Prostate Cancer: A Large-Scale Study - Daniel Spratt

Details
Aditya Bagrodia hosts Daniel Spratt to discuss the complexities of gene expression classifiers in prostate cancer. Dr. Spratt's team conducted a study involving over 50,000 patients to evaluate the interchangeability of three major gene classifiers: Decipher, Oncotype, and Polaris. Contrary to common belief, the study reveals that these tests are not functionally interchangeable, showing only mode...

Decipher® Scores and PSMA PET Imaging: A Correlative Study in High-Risk Prostate Cancer - Amar Kishan

Details
Daniel Spratt engages with Amar Kishan about the role of transcriptomic profiling and PSMA PET imaging in prostate cancer. Dr. Kishan discusses a study involving 18 trials and 12,500 patients, which suggests that extra-prostatic disease is often the driver of distant metastasis in high-risk patients. The study also explores the correlation between Decipher® scores and the risk of upstaging on PSMA...

Details
Katie Murray and Anne Lizardi-Calvaresi discuss a clinical pathway approach for using the Decipher prostate cancer genomic classifier. Reviewing the level-one evidence described in the NCCN guidelines, they discuss best practices as clinicians integrate prostate cancer genomic classifiers into the care of their patients. They highlight how the test is integrated into the workflow for patient navig...

Transcriptome-Based Prognostic and Predictive Biomarker Analysis - The DECIPHER® Genomic Classifier for Prostate Cancer - Ashley Ross

Details
Alicia Morgans and Ashley Ross discuss how the Decipher® prognostic biomarker prostate classifier is being integrated into phase II and III clinical trials, a 22-gene prognostic biomarker that provides a score that indicates the aggressiveness of an individual patient’s cancer, to help healthcare professionals more accurately categorize risk and select appropriate treatment. The pair highlights da...

Insights from the STAMPEDE Trial Platform - Marina Parry & Gerhardt Attard

Details
Marina Parry and Gerhardt Attard join Alicia Morgans in discussing two key studies from the STAMPEDE trial platform, including “Comparison of abiraterone acetate and prednisolone or combination enzalutamide + abiraterone acetate and prednisolone for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) starting ADT: overall survival (OS) results of 2 randomized Phase III trials from the STAMPEDE pr...

The Molecular Biology of Prostate Cancer - Christopher Barbieri

Details
Christopher Barbieri joins Matthew Cooperberg for a discussion about the molecular biology of localized prostate cancer. Dr. Barbieri explains how the underlying molecular and genomic features that separate prostate cancer subtypes can be studied using DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing. The conversation covers predictive markers including DECIPHER, PAM50, genomic mutations, and oncogenic drivers....

An Ancillary Study of the STAMPEDE Trial Assessing the Clinical Qualification of Transcriptome Signatures for Advanced Prostate Cancer Starting ADT +/- Abiraterone Acetate and Prednisolone - Gerhardt...

Details
Gerhardt Attard joins Ashley Ross in discussing an ancillary study of the STAMPEDE trial assessing the clinical qualification of transcriptome signatures for advanced prostate cancer starting ADT with or without abiraterone acetate and prednisolone. The addition of abiraterone acetate and prednisolone to ADT is the standard of care for advanced prostate cancer (metastatic, M1 and high-risk non-met...

The Use of the Decipher® Biopsy Test Prior to Prostatectomy - Ashley Ross

Details
Alicia Morgans and Ashley Ross discuss the Decipher® Biopsy genomic risk assessment test and its use prior to prostatectomy. Dr Ross shares how and why he has integrated this genomic risk stratification test into his clinical practice. The use of Decipher® allows patients to be risk stratified based upon the genomics of the tumor tissue and physicians can use the results to determine the course of...
