• GU009: Two studies for patients with high risk prostate cancer testing less intense treatment for patients with a low gene risk score and testing a more intense treatment for patients with a high gene risk score (PENDING)
  This trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score.
• GU010: Two Studies for Patients with Unfavorable Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer Testing Less Intense Treatment for Patients with a Low Gene Risk Score and Testing a More Intense Treatment for Patients with a Higher Gene Risk Score (PENDING)
  This trial uses the Decipher risk score to guide therapy selection. Decipher score is based on the activity of 22 genes in prostate tumors and may predict how likely it is for recurrent prostate cancer to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
