Mesothelin Expression Is a Prognostic Factor in Cholangiocellular Carcinoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although mesothelin is highly expressed in epithelial mesotheliomas, and also in adenocarcinomas of the ovary and pancreas, the clinical significance of mesothelin in cholangiocellular carcinoma (CC) has not been reported, and its biologic features are largely unknown. In the present study, mesothelin expression was evaluated in 25 patients with CC using a well-characterized mesothelin monoclonal antibody (5B2). A total of 8 of the 25 patients with CC (32%) showed mesothelin immunoreactivity. The 25 patients were divided into 2 groups according to the percentage of tumor cells that were positive for mesothelin expression: negative (n = 17) or focally positive (mesothelin expression evident in less than 50%, n = 4; total, n = 21 for both groups), and positive (mesothelin expression evident in 50% or more, n = 4). The survival periods in both groups were statistically analyzed. The negative/focally positive group showed significantly longer postoperative survival than the positive group (P = 0.006). Also, mesothelin positivity was identified as an independent predictor of short postoperative survival. The present results suggest that mesothelin expression is a prognostic indicator in patients with CC.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
