@arizobound, Good information from @survivor5280

A biopsy report cannot show that cancer is not present in other areas than the biopsies locations.

A Decipher test only test the tissues submitted that have already been taken and then does a genetic test to determine risk of those biopsies.

My pathlogy report 3+4=7 was rated as intermediate risk. My Decipher came back low risk.

I and many other you will see recommend Decipher as is more specific and better determination of biopsies than pathologist reading.

When I had my radiation treatment I asked the R/O if doing only the locations identified by pathology or all prostate. I was told all prostate. We want to make sure we get all the cancer cells and said dealing with cancer at celluar level and don't want to miss anything not seen by MRIs and biopsies.
