About Genomic Prostate Score^® (GPS) Test
The GPS test is an advanced 17-gene mRNA test to help guide treatment decisions for localized prostate cancer. The test analyzes prostate cancer gene activity to predict disease aggressiveness and provide clinically meaningful endpoints. GPS is a highly personalized assay that quantifies the biologic aggressiveness of the tumor using a 17-gene signature that includes 12 cancer-related genes representative of 4 key biological pathways and 5 reference genes. GPS predicts the likelihood of adverse pathology, prostate cancer death, and metastasis within 10 years.
