Max, Interesting article, thanks for sharing. So am I understanding that coming in 2025 a "Decipher" prostate test will be able to help predict which of us guys with Met PCa would benefit most from adding Chemo Docetaxel?

Also what is ESMO 2024? Perhaps a cancer conference ? Thank you

Yup exactly! ESMO 2024 is the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress, which wraps up on Tuesday. I’ve been wanting to keep everyone updated, but I admit I don’t have much "first-hand" information at the moment. Hopefully, there will be plenty of articles to share in the coming days :-P

I see that Decipher requires a biopsy, but probably just one snip.

Not what you're looking for?
