Patient Story

A urologist’s personal Decipher journey

Urologist Dr. Arnold Bullock, from the Washington University School of Medicine, shares his very personal story of being diagnosed with prostate cancer and using the Decipher Prostate test in his clinical practice for his patients.

Watch Dr. Bullock’s conversation with his urologist and former colleague, Dr. Eric Kim, Chief of Urology at the University of Nevada Reno School of Medicine, Renown Medical Group.

Selecting a prostate cancer management strategy is a nuanced process, balancing the oncologic benefits of treatments with their impacts on quality of life. The Decipher Prostate test helps us as providers to make sure the right patients are getting the right treatment at the right time.”3

Ashley E. Ross, M.D., Ph.D. Associate Professor of Urology and Clinical Director for the Polsky Urological Oncology Center Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine

The prostate cancer landscape

Statistics

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. 

  • >333K men are expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in the US in 2026.4
  • >36K men are expected to die of prostate cancer in the US in 2026.4
  • 1 in 8 men are expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.4
  • New prostate cancer cases are expected to double worldwide between 2020 to 2040.5

Challenges

Prostate cancer does not behave the same way in every person.

Some tumors grow very slowly, while others are aggressive and can spread quickly.

Understanding each patient’s unique risk is key to choosing the right treatment.

Relying only on clinical and pathological factors for risk assessment and treatment selection does not always reflect the tumor’s underlying biology, which can result in over- or under-treatment.
