  1. An overview of the patients and slides included in the three cohorts, including age, PSA, cancer grade, and cancer length distributions. Scanners used for digitization and the number of pathologists (unavailable for SFR) represented within each cohort are specified. *In the SCH cohort, cancer grading and length were assigned at the location level (across multiple slides), meaning information for individual WSIs is unavailable. Instead, we report the overall grade and cancer length assigned to the location.
