Gleason's Score and Advanced Case
The reason for the addition of the particular 2 cases noted below has not yet been determined. Dr. Fraser believed that these were due to PSA values >20. However this was not the case for these 2.\\
The additional condition for advanced cases: ''PSA >20 ng/mL'', is not in ''Cancer_final_10292014.sas''. It is added below for computations hereafter.
