Thanks!
I will ask about that.
They told me that I am high-risk and I have already chosen surgery as my treatment. What else can the Decipher test tell me?

There are a couple of Genomic testing companies out there. Mine was Decipher, which gives you a risk estimate of metastasis after treatment, at intervals of 5 and 10 years. Also gives a risk of "prostate cancer mortality" at 15 years. As others have said, the test is requested by the treating doc. Good luck going forward!

It shows how likely you are to have a reoccurrence soon. If you are a Gleason 9 or 10, you already know that you are likely to have a reoccurrence, So it makes less sense to get the Decipher test. If you also have cribriform it can increase the likelihood of reoccurrence. The same is true If the cancer got out of the prostate..
