The data obtained from two prostate tumor tissue arrays (PR951 with 48 core samples and PR751 with 75 core samples) were pooled together. 4 tumor samples in the arrays without any Gleason score were omitted from the analysis. Out of 4 PIN samples, 3 had Gleason grades I, II and III respectively while the 4th sample has Gleason grade between I-II. BPH-Benign prostatic hyperplasia, PIN- Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasias
