Summary
This study looks at whether a tumor test called Decipher can predict aggressive prostate cancer as accurately in African-American men as in other men. Researchers will follow 240 men with prostate cancer to see if the test helps doctors choose the right treatment. The goal is to avoid unnecessary side effects for low-risk patients and give stronger treatment to those who need it.
