Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Earlier investigations demonstrate an increased risk for colon cancer in Crohn's disease. For other intestinal neoplasms, such as carcinoids, studies are limited. In Crohn's disease, repeated endoscopic and imaging studies along with intestinal resections may facilitate clinical recognition of neoplastic diseases, including appendiceal neoplasms. To date, however, only sporadic cases of appendiceal carcinoids have been described in Crohn's disease. In the present study, in a single clinician database of 1000 Crohn's disease patients, three of the 441 patients who had undergone intestinal resection had appendiceal carcinoids, all of which were pathologically confirmed. All were observed in female patients and were not suspected before surgical treatment. In one case, even though management was not altered, the tumour had already invaded serosal fat indicating a potential for more advanced disease. In this series, a carcinoid tumour was found in a resection specimen during a later clinical case review and another was a microcarcinoid, implying that these tumours may be overlooked in Crohn's disease. The percentage detected in the entire database (0.3%) exceeds the reported rates of detection of appendiceal carcinoids after removal of the appendix for appendicitis, as well as the rate of detection of appendiceal carcinoids in autopsy studies. This percentage would be higher if only those having an intestinal resection were considered (0.68%). Additional studies are needed to further define this risk of appendiceal carcinoids in Crohn's disease.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
