Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

One hundred and ten patients with primary epidermoid cancers of the anal canal were treated in a series of prospectively designed, nonrandomized protocols of split-course radiation therapy with concurrent administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with or without mitomycin. The addition of mitomycin was associated with improved primary tumor control rates (87 vs. 58% at 4 years, p = 0.005) and improved 4-year actuarial cause-specific survival (80 vs. 64%, p = 0.02). Hematologic toxicity was the most frequent acute side effect of mitomycin use. No long-term toxicity was attributed to mitomycin only. Mitomycin appeared to benefit patients principally through improved control of cancer in the irradiated volume; there was no evidence of reduced risk of extrapelvic metastases. Several investigators have reported high rates of control of epidermoid anal cancers with preservation of anorectal function following concurrent treatment with mitomycin, 5-FU, and radiation. Mitomycin's role in anal cancer is being evaluated in a randomized clinical trial by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group. The mechanisms of any interactions between mitomycin and radiation or other cytotoxic drugs in clinical practice remain to be determined.

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.
