Genomic Prostate Score: A New Tool to Assess Prognosis and Optimize Radiation Therapy Volumes and ADT in Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer.

Genomic classifiers such as the Genomic Prostate Score (GPS) could help to personalize treatment for men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer (I-PCa). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the ability of the GPS to change therapeutic decision making in I-PCa. Only patients in the intermediate NCCN risk group with Gleason score 3 + 4 were considered. The primary objective was to assess the impact of the GPS on risk stratification: NCCN clinical and genomic risk versus NCCN clinical risk stratification alone. We also analyzed the predictive role of the GPS for locally advanced disease (≥pT3+) and the potential change in treatment strategy. Thirty patients were tested for their GPS between November 2018 and March 2020, with the median age being 70 (45-79). Twenty-three patients had a clinical T1 stage. Eighteen patients were classified as favorable intermediate risk (FIR) based on the NCCN criteria. The median GPS score was 39 (17-70). Among the 23 patients who underwent a radical prostatectomy, Gleason score 3 + 4 was found in 18 patients. There was a significant correlation between the GPS and the percentage of a Gleason grade 4 or higher pattern in the surgical sample: correlation coefficient r = 0.56; 95% CI = 0.2-0.8;
