DecisionDx-SCC Overview

DecisionDx-SCC is a genomic test that was developed to predict metastatic risk for SCC patients with one or more risk factors. The test classifies patients as low (Class 1), moderate (Class 2A) or high (Class 2B) biological risk of metastasis. DecisionDx-SCC complements factors commonly used for risk assessment in SCC. The incorporation of the test with traditional risk factors provides additional risk prediction to better inform choices about treatment and follow-up care.

DecisionDx-SCC Clinical Evidence

DecisionDx-SCC is validated to predict metastatic risk for individual SCC patients with one or more risk factors. Independent validation was established in a prospectively designed, multi-center (33 centers) study with archival tissue, in 420 patients, with known 3-year outcomes. The study population was representative of a high-risk SCC population.

Multivariate analysis shows DecisionDx-SCC provides the strongest independent prognostic information in SCC patients with one or more high-risk factors.

Clinical Benefits of Using DecisionDx-SCC

DecisionDx-SCC provides higher positive predictive value than previously possible, >50% (Class 2B) compared to >30% for staging (i.e. BWH T2b/T3). DecisionDx-SCC adds valuable information independent of clinical factors or staging criteria: this means the test is providing unique, complementary information for SCC management.
