This weekend's #ASCO26 sessions put a spotlight on key advances in urologic cancers. Here's a recap from a session, where Christopher Sweeney, M.B.B.S., Adelaide University, presented new data from the #ENZAMET phase 3 trial.
The talk explored whether the Decipher® Prostate Genomic Classifier can identify which patients with metastatic prostate cancer may benefit from adding the chemotherapy docetaxel to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus enzalutamide (also known as triplet therapy), and which may safely avoid it.
| Primary Takeaway |
🔹 The #DecipherProstateTest identifies which metastatic prostate cancer patients may benefit from treatment intensification, and which can be safely spared chemotherapy, giving clinicians an actionable, evidence-based answer.
🔹 The ENZAMET findings build on prior validation in the STAMPEDE and CHAARTED trials, where Decipher Prostate identified patients most likely to benefit from adding docetaxel to ADT alone.
🔹 ENZAMET advances that evidence with the first demonstration that the test predicts chemotherapy benefit when added to doublet therapy (ADT plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, like enzalutamide).
| Some Thank You's |
💙 We're grateful to Dr. Sweeney for sharing these important findings with the oncology community and for an ongoing commitment to improving care for the millions of men living with prostate cancer worldwide, including about 30,000 in the US who present with metastatic disease at diagnosis.(1,2)
💙 Thank you to everyone who joined the session and to the investigators, site teams, and participants whose contributions made this research possible.

We are proud to announce the U.S. commercial launch of the Prosigna® Breast Risk of Recurrence (ROR) test, a genomic test for patients diagnosed with early-stage hormone-receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer. The #ProsignaBreastTest will be available to order starting June 8, 2026.
| Impact |
On the heels of the landmark #OPTIMA trial readout at #ASCO26, the Prosigna test now offers clinicians and the patients they serve not only a deeper understanding of individual risk of recurrence, but for many, whether chemotherapy can benefit them or whether they may safely avoid it.
In the U.S., more than 225,000 new HR+/HER2- breast cancer cases are diagnosed each year. When breast cancer is diagnosed early and treated appropriately, five-year survival rates reach 92%(1). It is critically important to accurately determine a patient's risk of recurrence because the effects of treatment escalation or de-escalation have a lasting impact on a patient's life.
| Why the Prosigna Test Stands Apart |
🔹 Comprehensive molecular analysis: The Prosigna test was developed from the PAM50 genomic classifier and is the only test that combines intrinsic subtypes and proliferation score with clinical pathological factors to provide a comprehensive 10-year probability of distant recurrence.
🔹 Proven across high-risk populations: Based on the phase III, prospective, OPTIMA trial, the Prosigna test is the only test proven to be predictive for chemotherapy benefit for high-clinical risk patients with up to 9 positive nodes, including premenopausal women treated with ovarian function suppression.
🔹 Superior prognostic accuracy: Extensively validated clinical evidence demonstrates that the Prosigna test is more prognostically accurate than other genomic assays, particularly in the critical 5-10 year breast cancer recurrence window.
| Access and Availability |
The Prosigna test will be available to order starting June 8, 2026 through Veracyte's network nationwide via the Veracyte Ordering Portal. The test is currently covered by most commercial payers, and patients may qualify for financial assistance or a tailored payment plan supported by the Veracyte Access Program for eligible uninsured and underinsured patients.

Veracyte is proud to announce new findings from an analysis of patient samples from the ENZAMET trial, an international, randomized Phase III study conducted by the Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group (ANZUP).
The analysis demonstrates that the Decipher® Prostate test identifies which men with metastatic prostate cancer may benefit from adding the chemotherapy docetaxel to standard hormonal therapy (also known as triplet therapy), and who may safely avoid it, providing the first Level 1B evidence for a genomic test guiding this decision.
| Key Findings |
The new ENZAMET trial results provide evidence for genomic-guided decisions on triplet therapy in advanced disease:
🔹Improved outcomes guided by Decipher Prostate: Patients with higher Decipher scores (>0.85) who received triplet therapy had clinically meaningful better survival compared to those on standard hormonal therapy alone.
🔹Patients can be spared from chemotherapy: Patients with lower Decipher scores showed no benefit from adding chemotherapy, suggesting it may be safely avoided.
🔹 Overcoming aggressive disease: Patients with higher Decipher scores who received triplet therapy had more aggressive disease features, yet achieved comparable survival to lower-risk patients on doublet therapy, suggesting chemotherapy offset the poor prognostic effects of aggressive disease biology.
Prof. Christopher Sweeney, MBBS, South Australian Immunogenomics Cancer Institute, Adelaide University, will present the ENZAMET trial results at the #ASCO26 Annual Meeting.

Veracyte today announced that it’s Decipher Prostate Genomic Classifier is the only gene expression test to receive a “Level 1B” evidence rating in the 2024 @NCCN Guidelines® as a prognostic tool for the risk stratification of patients with localized #ProstateCancer.
Cross-Comparison IPD Analysis of Three Gene Expression Signatures in Localized #prostatecancer in >50,000 Men #ASTRO23 @a@angela_jia_@urotoday
📌 15,379 NCCN low-risk, 14,773 fav int-risk, 15,544 unfav int-risk, and 5,185 high/very high-risk
📌 Oncotype model had poor goodness-of-fit to the 22-gene Decipher GC: R2 = 0.36
📌 Prolaris model had poor goodness-of-fit to the 22-gene Decipher GC: R2 = 0.32
📌 ~60% of information from the Decipher GC is unique and not explained by known variables
📌 These tests should not be viewed as interchangeable
@angela_jia_ giving a podium talk @ASTRO_org#ASTRO23 and absolutely crushing it.
The gene expression used in the 3 most common PCa tests in 50,000 pts do not correlate, with ~60% of data being unique in Decipher as compared to derived CCP or GPS.
Clearly these tests are not interchangeable in the info provided.
