@topf with all said about pathologist readings, would you all believe that a Decipher test score is a game changer ? Also anyone know if the PSMA can help with grading one tumor ! Welcoming replies !

@mikefassino My decipher was low (0.2), that result probably contained more information than I realized. But you still need a biopsy to do a decipher. PSMA cannot grade your cancer, it is not even very good at assessing its local extent. It’s purpose is to detect relatively small metastases.

@mikefassino
Decipher is all about statistical analysis of hundreds of thousands of previous patients. It is likely to be accurate, but there will always be the individual’s that were outsiders. Like any statistical readings, often an individual outside reading above or below are dismissed. It will be interesting to see how AI impacts this.
