Study Arms (2)

Standard of care (no pre-treatment genomics testing)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Provider will discuss askMUSIC results with patient prior to deciding on a management strategy (standard of care).

Other: Standard of care (askMUSIC score)

Standard of care + pre-treatment genomics testing

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Provider will discuss askMUSIC and Gene Expression Classifier (GEC) results with patient prior to deciding on a cancer management strategy. Patients' biopsy tissue will be analyzed using one of the following GECs: Decipher, Prolaris or Oncotype Dx.

Device: DecipherDevice: ProlarisDevice: Oncotype Dx Genomic Prostate Score (GPS)Other: Standard of care (askMUSIC score)

Interventions

DecipherDEVICE

The Decipher test (GenomeDx Biosciences) is a genomic test that will be performed on prostate biopsy tissue. Results will be provided to the patient and physician prior to making a treatment decision.

Also known as: Decipher Prostate Cancer Classifier
Standard of care + pre-treatment genomics testing
ProlarisDEVICE

The Prolaris test (Myriad Genetics, Inc.) is a genomic test that will be performed on prostate biopsy tissue. Results will be provided to the patient and physician prior to making a treatment decision.

Also known as: Prolaris Prostate Cancer Test
Standard of care + pre-treatment genomics testing

The Oncotype Dx GPS test (Exact Sciences corp.) is a genomic test that will be performed on prostate biopsy tissue. Results will be provided to the patient and physician prior to making a treatment decision.

Standard of care + pre-treatment genomics testing

AskMUSIC is a risk calculator based on standard clinical and pathologic variables (https://ask.musicurology.com/) and is generally included as part of routine clinical care.

Also known as: askMUSIC score
