[{"type":"text","content":" SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nVeracyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT), a leading cancer diagnostics company, today announced that 17 Decipher-focused abstracts will be presented at the 2025 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU). The findings demonstrate the market leadership of its Decipher tests in better informing treatment decisions for patients with prostate and bladder cancers, compared to standard approaches, and in helping to drive innovation that will inform the future of urologic cancer care. The conference will take place February 13-15 in San Francisco.\n\n\n“The scale and scope of data to be presented at the ASCO GU meeting underscore the impact our whole-transcriptome-based Decipher tests are having in treating patients with urologic cancers, and how our GRID, or Genomic Resource for Intelligent Discovery, research tool is helping to advance scientific understanding of these diseases,” said Elai Davicioni, Ph.D., Veracyte’s medical director, Urology. “Our commitment to generating robust clinical evidence with collaborators has led to our market-leading Decipher Prostate test achieving the highest status among gene expression tests in the most recent, and prior, NCCN guidelines.* We look forward to using a similar approach for our Decipher Bladder test in bladder cancer.”\n\n\n“Clinical rigor and robust evidence generation are important for a molecular test to gain widespread adoption and inclusion in guidelines for helping physicians and their patients with prostate cancer make better-informed treatment decisions,” said Daniel Spratt, M.D., of the University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, Case Western Reserve University. “National guidelines have acknowledged the large body of work from randomized Phase 3 trials that have been profiled with Decipher and include the Decipher test as an advanced risk-stratification tool that can aid in shared-decision making for patients.”\n\n\nKey Decipher-focused findings to be presented at the ASCO GU Symposium are:\n\n\n\n\nTitle:\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nDecipher Score as a Predictor of Response to Treatment Intensification in the NRG Oncology-RTOG 0534 (SPPORT) Phase III Randomized Post-Prostatectomy Salvage Radiotherapy Trial\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter:\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nAlan Pollack, M.D., Ph.D., University of Miami Health System\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFormat:\n\n\n\n\n\n \...
