Do we need to ask for them to test for aggressiveness before they run the biopsy in order for them to get an additional sample, or can they test for it with just the normal samples they extract?

They take the biopsy material and send it off to the company that runs the test such as the decipher test. About 2 weeks later the urologist gets the report. You can get the report yourself if you fill out a form with the company to do so or ask the Dr.
