Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how genomic testing can help assess the risk of prostate cancer in Black patients with low to intermediate risk.
- Researchers analyzed data from 63 Black men who were eligible for active surveillance according to guidelines and had undergone genomic testing, revealing that post-testing risk levels were generally higher than initial classifications.
- The findings indicate that incorporating genomic testing could refine risk assessments, leading to better-informed treatment decisions for this group, as a significant portion of patients were reclassified to a higher risk post-testing.

Gaps in information across providers caring for the same patient can lead to harm for patients.
