Actually, various studies between 2008 - 2023 indicate that initial grade and pathological grade match between 50%-60% of the time, and upgraded between 25%-30% of the time.

Here is one of those studies, where they found that Gleason scores were the same in 50% of cases, downgraded in 26%, and upgraded in 24% (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35972023/).
