Association between genomic classifier scores and initial management of localized prostate cancer in the United States
Abstract Background Tissue-based gene expression assays provide prognostic information in prostate cancer, but their influence on decisions regarding immediate treatment vs conservative management, including active surveillance (AS) and watchful waiting (WW), remains uncertain. Methods Using a linkage with the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program, we evaluated the association between a 22-gene genomic classifier (GC) and initial management among patients with low or intermediate clinical-risk prostat …
