And 3+3 is not even considered cancer or should be called cancer by many today. It shows Decipher is one more measurement of several, MRI, PET, Gleason, PSE, , PSA,,ExoDx for you and your Doctor to discuss. It is often not one, but a totality of all to help render your decision. I know of two who have had Decipher but fall short in other aggressiveness measurement’s. Do you just run off with the most aggressive treatment because you had a high decipher and nothing else pointing that direction. It is for you and your Doctor to decide. Not everyone with a high decipher has ended up needing the most aggressive treatment, and yet you will hear , OMG you have a high decipher you must do this. Remember your treatment is a decision of a totality of what all the diagnostic tests and procedures and it may be the deciding factor or it just may be another factor.
@ginger38314 AI says I have a 75-80% chance of a low decipher score based on my pathology. Probably overly optimistic.
