Hi bluesky prostate folk. Quick question - does anyone know of any papers where a cohort has had both NCCN and CPG prognostic levels assigned/calculated to see how much overlap and outlying there is? Thinking specifically in the intermediate risk groups if that helps.

"[Scotland] has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13." That's honestly so amazing.
