You are completely wrong about Decipher.

It actually has some value after recurrence BUT is best done before ANY treatment is initiated since it can inform patient if AS is at all advisable.

It also helps with decision about adding ADT or not for initial RT treatment etc.

I said GPS was similar to the decipher test. From what I've read the decipher can be used before or after TX but is used more for re-occurrence. Many doctors don't even do the test before treatment. This is why it's important for the patient to ask for it.
