Veracyte Announces New Urologic Cancer Data To Be Presented at AUA 2022 International Conference

Findings Provide New Insights into Genomic Underpinnings of Prostate and Bladder Cancers

Veracyte, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCYT) announced today that three abstracts highlighting new data on the genomic underpinnings of prostate and bladder cancers will be presented at the American Urological Association Annual Meeting, taking place May 13-16, 2022, in New Orleans. The findings are derived from analyses of the Decipher GRID, a database that contains genomic profiling information from clinical samples used in the development and commercial application of the Decipher Prostate and Decipher Bladder tests.

“The data being presented at AUA 2022 highlight the transcriptional complexity of prostate and bladder cancers, knowledge that we hope can be used to better personalize therapy,” said Elai Davicioni, Ph.D., Veracyte’s medical director for Urology. “Importantly, these analyses also reinforce the value of our Decipher GRID database, which contains over 100,000 transcriptomes of prostate and bladder cancers, for urologic oncology researchers all around the world.”

Following are details of the Decipher GRID abstracts accepted for poster presentation at the AUA 2022 meeting, which will be held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center:
