Table 2:

Comparison of a research cohort (Pediatric Sarcoma as training data) and a clinical cohort (CCG as validation data) on the extent of missing ages at last contact and missing ages at cancer diagnoses at both family and individual levels. Summary statistics for the number of individuals per family are reported to contrast the depth of data collection procedures in research and clinical cohorts as they happen in the unit of families
