Why are urologists dismissive about Decipher?

My experience was the opposite. Following my biopsy at the urology clinic, they automatically forwarded my sample to Decipher for testing saying this is their usual routine. Later when I was discussing my situation with the RO, he seemed to downplay the Decipher results and recommendations even though those results put me in the high risk category.

@dgd1953, can you expand on your situation? like your GL # and MRI findings and biopsy #'s. I had Intermediate favorable #'s (3+4, PI-RADS 2, 1/12 cores positive, low PSA. But high decipher. everyone wanted me to do something whole gland,.......... Radiation (many types) plus Hormone TH. OR RARP. .......

I was just trying to get a risk assessment of partial gland therapies. HIFU, TULSA-Pro, MPP, with a High decipher score
