Immunocytochemical Evaluation of Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Lung
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether immunocytochemistry can distinguish pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) among non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). STUDY DESIGN: Tumor touch imprint cytologic specimens of 109 lung cancers were studied. Immunocytochemistry was done using a total of 8 primary antibodies: chromogranin A, synaptophysin, neural cell adhesion molecule, neuron specific enolase, CK34betaE12, thyroid transcription factor-1, cytokeratin 18 and E-cadherin. RESULTS: If 2 or 3 antibodies of chromogranin A, synaptophysin and neural cell adhesion molecule were stained positive and CK34betaE12 was not stained, pulmonary LCNEC can be selected accurately among other NSCLCs with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. CONCLUSION: This study reveals that immunocytochemistry can help distinguish LCNEC of the lung from other NSCLCs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
