Prostate Tumor Gene Activity Score

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 81541

A laboratory test run on prostate tumor tissue that measures how active a set of genes is in the cancer cells and turns the readings into a score reflecting how aggressively the tumor is likely to behave. The score is used alongside the biopsy findings and blood results when choosing between monitoring, surgery, or radiation. It uses tissue already taken at biopsy or surgery, so no extra procedure is needed.
