The Origin of Cancer Metastasis
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Machine scores (provisional)
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Abstract
Little was known about cancer in 1829. Cancer was regarded as scirrhous, encephaloid and melanotic hard, soft and black. Deep-seated cancer was almost inevitably fatal, as was breast cancer. Surgical treatment of breast cancer was ineffective, and often fatal. Post-operative infection was very common. Radical mastectomy was 30 years in the future, and in the 1880s had a mortality rate of 25% in the hands of Billroth; even by 1900, the “safe” radical mastectomy of Halsted had a three-year cure rate of 57%. In 1829, a French surgeon, J. C. A. Récamier, (1774–1852) in his book on cancer, gave the first clear reference to metastasis — “métastase.”
