Abstract
NCCN low risk patients had the most meaningful information provided by the Genomic Prostate Score. Men with low risk disease with a likelihood of favorable pathology threshold greater than 75% are at very low risk for adverse pathology, whereas those with a likelihood of favorable pathology of 75% or less are at high risk. This likelihood of favorable pathology threshold is greater than 69% for men with low volume intermediate risk disease. These results should help clinicians use Genomic Prostate Score information when making decisions regarding active surveillance or intervention for prostate cancer.
