Profile

Veracyte, Inc.VCYTHealth Care

Sells molecular cancer tests for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment guidance, and recurrence monitoring through U.S. laboratories, alongside distributed international products and biopharmaceutical services. Decipher Prostate and Afirma generate most revenue, making physician adoption, laboratory throughput, clinical evidence, and payer reimbursement central to the model.

Provides molecular cancer tests used to diagnose disease, estimate prognosis, guide treatment, and monitor recurrence. The U.S. laboratory portfolio includes Decipher Prostate, Afirma for thyroid nodules, Decipher Bladder, Prosigna Breast, and TrueMRD for muscle-invasive bladder cancer; Percepta Nasal Swab is being developed for lung-nodule assessment.

Runs physician-ordered testing through CLIA-certified laboratories in California and Texas, while distributing Prosigna kits through overseas laboratories and hospitals. Whole-transcriptome assays, genomic and clinical datasets, bioinformatics, and evidence generation support product development, payer coverage, and clinical-guideline inclusion; smaller revenue streams include distributed products and biopharmaceutical services.

Most revenue comes from U.S. customers, with Decipher Prostate and Afirma generating the majority. Test volume, physician adoption, payer coverage and reimbursement, laboratory execution, clinical evidence, practice guidelines, and diagnostic regulation shape the business.
