Why are urologists dismissive about Decipher?

I'm one of those persons. 1st biopsy was 3+3, 1 core, less than 5%. 2nd biopsy nothing. 3rd biopsy 3+4, 1 core, less than 5%.

My urologist/surgeon suggested sending the 3+4 in for the Decipher analysis. (And he's a bit on the aggressive side; i.e. he's suggested surgery a couple of times.)

Result, low risk so I'm still on Active Surveillance and plan to stay on it as long as I can.

Hi breadmaker,

Just curious, what is you PSA, and did you have any lesions identified during an MRI with our without contrast? My Gleason score results are very similar to yours, but my PSA is 8.4 and I had two lesions identified as Pirads 4, but no cancer was identified in either lesion. Thanks.
