My opinion (for what it is worth) is that either the decipher test or some other genetic testing can identify the type of mutation involved with your cancer. Certain mutations respond very well to Advanced drugs like Keytruda. Genetic testing can also reveal what the tumor burden load is whether you have microsatellite stability or not. Knowing these things can be helpful in determining other treatment options should ATT and RT not result in a full remission.

All the best to you while on your journey with PCa.

Is. Genetic testing part of decifer? Was mulling on immunotherapy at a private clinic in phoenix. They genetically tested the pc and would try to create a custom vaccine to match it . Sounded plausible til my friend who also has cancer discovered that their immunotherapy drugs were at best 12-18 percent Sucessful and while intriguing not quite ready for everyday acceptance.
