It's a test often mentioned by Dr. Scholz of the PCRI. It's a genetic test that can help predict if you may fall into a small percentage of men that will experience serious long term side effects from either SBRT or IMRT or both.

Just completed SBRT yesterday for Gleason 9, Grade 4 localized disease. I was on AS for 4 years with Gleason 3+4 and low Oncotype score when a follow up biopsy in July this year showed disease progression. I was told 12-18 mos ADT at initial RO consultation. Recent data (within the last 5 years) endorses disease free survival and mortality equivalent whether RT or RARP are the approach. I am counting on that!
(My Prostox test showed low risk for 5-high dose SBRT treatment protocol)
