IMPROVING CARE FOR BLADDER CANCER

Decipher Bladder offers insights into the molecular subtype of a bladder tumor

The Decipher Bladder Genomic Classifier is a novel molecular subtyping tool that helps physicians navigate complex and potentially life-changing treatment decisions for patients with bladder cancer. The Decipher Bladder test uses whole-transcriptome analysis and machine-learning algorithms to classify bladder tumors into five molecular subtypes, each with distinct biological characteristics. Armed with this information, physicians can be better prepared to guide bladder cancer treatment decisions for their patients.

WHEN THE TEST IS USED

Identify risk and inform treatment decisions for bladder cancer

Decipher Bladder is a genomic test that assesses the molecular profile of 219 genes in bladder tumor specimens. The test is designed for use in patients following bladder cancer diagnosis who face questions of treatment intensity. The test results are reported as either Luminal or Non-Luminal (Infiltrated, Basal, Basal Claudin-Low or Neuroendocrine-like), with each molecular subtype having a distinct tumor biology and potential clinical implications. This information can help physicians and their patients better understand the degree of benefit that would likely be gained from neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

LUMINAL MOLECULAR SUBTYPE

Lower risk of cancer upstaging; less likely to benefit from NAC

NON-LUMINAL MOLECULAR SUBTYPE

Higher risk of cancer upstaging; more likely to benefit from NAC

Clinical data for Decipher Bladder

The Decipher Bladder Genomic Classifier is supported by multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies demonstrating the test’s ability to identify which patients with bladder cancer have a higher risk of upstaging to non-organ confined disease (i.e., disease that has spread outside the bladder wall and/or to nodes in the pelvis) at surgery and/or may be more likely to benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The test can also be used to identify neuroendocrine-like and immune-infiltrated subtypes, which may have implications for patients being considered for clinical trials of novel therapies.
