Veracyte Announces New Data to be Presented at the 2022 ASCO Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Symposium

Veracyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT) today announced that six abstracts highlighting new data for the company’s Decipher urologic cancer tests will be presented at the 2022 ASCO Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Symposium, taking place in San Francisco, Calif., and virtually, February 17-19, 2022.

The accepted abstracts include data from a phase 3 study evaluating the Decipher genomic classifier as a prognostic biomarker for patients diagnosed with intermediate-risk prostate cancer from their diagnostic biopsy specimen. This is the first late-stage clinical study validating the use of any gene expression classifier as a prognostic biomarker in this setting.

“At this year’s ASCO GU Symposium we look forward to sharing data from multiple studies that reinforce the ability of our Decipher genomic classifiers to guide more informed, individualized treatment for patients with urologic cancers,” said Elai Davicioni, Ph.D., Veracyte’s medical director for Urology. “The findings offer new insights into how our tests may help physicians stratify risk and guide treatment decisions for their patients with prostate, bladder and kidney cancers.”

Below are details of the Veracyte abstracts, which will be presented as posters at the 2022 ASCO GU Cancers Symposium being held at Moscone Center. All poster sessions will take place in Moscone West, Level 1.
