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..

Does it mean that radiation needs to be planned after surgery with Gleason 9?
