My urologist did include Polaris test as part of the biopsy procedure. I understand it is comparable to Decipher test. Both are using the tissue to check on aggressiveness of the cancer cells. I asked about the Polaris test results, my doctor said because the cores are all benign, it would not be usable for the test.

Confirm MDX is using the biopsied tissue to test. One urine test that I did before the biopsy which yielded a ExoDx score. Maybe that is what you are thinking. I got 18.77 (normal 0 - 15.6).

Frank1956: thanks for that. I looked it up and it seems as if 30% of people who have biopsies that show negative or benign results potentially have prostate cancer. It also seemed that if the results come back positive, then your plan is to have a biopsy done by somebody else?
