I also wsnted to dork off about the Decipher Grid with the two radiologists I spoke to. They both shut it down very quickly, telling me not to read too much into it. Sure enough, it says that it is only for research purposes.

Got to give you credit for trying to discuss your GRID report your doctors…not surprised in the least regarding their response…
Veracyte clearly indicates: “GRID data is for research use only and is not intended to guide patient management.”
So…it’s up to you to research the value of your own GRID data…I’m comfortable doing that with my own data, but fully understand if others are not.
To me it’s provides a few more puzzle pieces which tend to nudge in one direction or another regarding the best way forward with my particular case of PCa.
If I wasn’t on the “continental divide” of PCa, regarding AS versus treatment (see my profile); I would probably have much less interest in attempting to understand the detail AND the limitations of the information provided in my GRID report.
