EAU 2017: Decipher test impacts decision-making among patients considering adjuvant and salvage treatment following radical prostatectomy: Interim results from the multicenter prospective PRO-IMPACT study
In total, 265 patients were enrolled (150 patients for ART and 115 for SRT). Participating physicians’ submitted a management recommendation prior and post administration of the Decipher test. In addition, patients completed validated surveys on prostate cancer-specific quality of life, cancer related anxiety and decision quality.
Before administration of the Decipher test, observation was recommended for 89% of ART considered patients and 58% of SRT considered patients. However, after the administration of the Decipher test, 18% (95% CI 12-25%) of treatment recommendations changed in the ART arm (including 31% of high-risk Decipher patients), and 32% (95% CI 24-42%) of management recommendations changed in the SRT arm (including 56% of high-risk Decipher patients). Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) scores decreased (indicating higher decision quality) after receiving Decipher test results. For ART the median DCS pre-Decipher was 25 [IQR 8-44] and median DCS post-Decipher was 19 [IQR 2-30], p<0.001. For SRT the median pre-Decipher was 27 [IQR 16-41] and median post-Decipher was 23 [IQR 4-30], p<0.001.
Prostate cancer-specific anxiety changed following exposure to Decipher test results. Fear of prostate cancer recurrence in the ART arm (p=0.02) and prostate cancer-specific anxiety in the SRT arm (p=0.05) decreased significantly among Decipher low-risk patients. Decipher results were associated with the decision to pursue ART (OR 1.48; 95% CI 1.19-1.85) and SRT (OR 1.41; 95% CI 1.09-1.81) in multivariable logistic regression analysis.
In conclusion, Decipher test results were associated with better treatment decision-making and improved decision quality among men with prostate cancer after RP considered for either ART or SRT.
