N2 - Currently, there are several commercially available multigene tests for risk stratification in prostate cancer. These tests have been validated retrospectively; however, prospective studies are needed to fully establish their clinical roles. In some cases, molecular studies may add value, and updated NCCN Guidelines recommend "consideration" of molecular tests under certain circumstances, such as to help ascertain the likelihood of death from conservative management, of biochemical progression after radical prostatectomy or external-beam therapy, and of developing metastasis after radical prostatectomy or salvage radiotherapy.
