When do you get assigned an oncologist?

@chipe after my MRI, and by the time my urologist did their biopsy and recommended either surgery or radiation, I had already done enough research to decide on radiation and the type of radiation machine I wanted to use. I contacted five radiation oncologists that used that machine (my urologist had heard of the machine but nothing more), provided each of them with my MRI report, urology report and my genetic test (Decipher) and proceeded from there via in person and zoom meetings.

This is very helpful. Can you explain Decipher a little more please?
