Anyone had a decipher test done? Did the results impact treatment?

Does anyone know if the Decipher Test can be done with blood only? Had prostate removed almost 5 yrs ago and no genetic testing was done. Had Gleason 4+3 on practically entire right lobe; left and median totally normal. PSA has been rising and is now .15....next PSA test in a week at Sloan Kettering. If it hits .2 they are scheduling PSMA scan but I am more concerned with the duration of hormone treatment which would also be necessary. Don't mind 6 months but don't think I can hack 12-18 months....ugh!! Many thanks in advance! AL

Also, you can still do it on your biopsy or pathology specimen, even if they are a few years old. It sounds like you had RP, so you wouldwant to do it on the latter.

The Decipher is run on prostate biopsy cores or on the tumor material if you have a prostatectomy.
