I should also mention that I have a Decipher score from when I had my biopsy. It’s low at 0.15. I know it’s not the only factor to consider, but it’s at least a tiny bit comforting. Does anyone know if any of the other tests (Prolaris or Oncotype) are beneficial in assessing future risk? My doctor only sent for Decipher.

Your Gleason score is so low and with the very low decipher results, surgery plus radiation will probably give you permanent remission. I would be real interested in hearing what your doctors recommend.

Only 20% to 30% of the prostate cancer patients have reoccurrences.
