Combined Clinical Risk Score
CCR is used to predict outcomes such as Disease Specific Mortality (DSM) and Metastasis (METs). Clinical decisions should be based on DSM and METs risk shown on the Prolaris results.
Weighted elements were validated in Cuzick et al. (2015)
- Cuzick J, et al. Validation of an RNA cell cycle progression score for predicting death from prostate cancer in a conservatively managed needle biopsy cohort. British Journal of Cancer. 2015;113(3):382-389. Doi: 10.1038/bjc.2015.
Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment Score
The score is calculated using points assigned to: age at diagnosis, PSA at diagnosis, Gleason score of the biopsy, clinical stage and percent of biopsy cores involved with cancer. The scale of this score is 0-10.

Cell Cycle Progression Score
CCP measures the activity of the cell cycle progression genes and is the molecular component of the Prolaris test. Do not use CCP alone for clinical decisions. The approximate scale of this score is about 1-11.
Prolaris® provides similar risks for different cohorts, demonstrating reproducibility
