Abstract
Background:The frequency of digestive cancers is increasing since the last ten years. The aim of the study was to determine the epidemiologic and histologic aspects of digestive cancers in Togo. Method: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study focused on digestive cancers cases diagnosed from 1995 throughout 2014 (20 years) at the pathology laboratory of the Lomé teaching hospital. We included all digestive samples (biopsy, excision, surgical specimens) collected and sent to the pathology laboratory from 1994 to 2013 using data from the records of the laboratory. Results: We have collected 1306 cases of digestive cancers (20.4%). The annual incidence was 65.3 cases. The sex-ratio (M/F) was 1.5. The mean age was 47.8 years. The most common locations were the stomach (35.3%) and the esophagus (27.3%). The adenocarcinoma was predominant in the stomach (84.4%), the rectum (70.2%), and the colon (86.3%). The squamous cell carcinoma was commonly found at the esophagus (94.8%). The lymphomas were observed in the small intestine (53.4%). Conclusion: Digestive cancers are frequent in Togo and occur in young adults. The stomach cancer is the most common cancer

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
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.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
