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.

It is quite common at UCSF to do the decipher test before treatment. That can decide whether or not ADT is necessary after treatment , And is also a factor in other treatment options.
