That is my understanding as well.
I always bring up the Decipher test because it has such a dramatic affect on my treatment plan. When I got the biopsy report the R/Os said I was at intermediate risk and the plan was to do 20 rounds of photon radiation with hormone treatment. But he added want to order a Decipher test. I did not know what a Decipher test back at that time (3.5 years ago).
The Decipher test came back low risk not intermediate risk and it changed my treatment plan to radiation only.

@jc76 I know the worlds not perfect but it really all comes down to testing to help guide our treatment decisions.
I just received notice my Prolaris came back at 4.1 and unfavorable interm risk. Will have to get clarification on how I went from 3+4 stage T1c Group 2 biopsy and originally given the option for active surveillance, to this report saying surgery or radiation is the only option.
Makes me think surgery is probably best option given the fact there’s a decent chance the cancer is actually worse
