Decipher is one of the standard genomic tests used to help men decide if they ought to stay on AS. It tells you the probability that your cancer will metastasize in 5 or 10 years.

Here is a great map of genomic testing, which are available and more importantly when they should be considered.

I would recommend Decipher testing; I did it with my surgical specimen. It has helped me make decisions on how aggressive to be in treating my disease. When combined with SOC testing, such as Gleason, Bone n CT scans it improves the accuracy of your predictions on how your disease progresses.
