Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy and toxicity of a combined-modality regimen of irradiation with platinum-based combination chemotherapy in small-cell carcinoma of the cervix (SCCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-four patients with SCCC were seen and treated at the British Columbia Cancer Agency between May 1988 and November 2002. Two protocols were used, SMCC (May 1988 to December 1995) and SMCC2 (January 1996 to November 2002). Both protocols used cisplatin, etoposide, and involved-field irradiation (essentially pelvis plus or minus para-aortics) with concurrent chemotherapy. In addition, SMCC2 included carboplatin and paclitaxel, and the para-aortics were irradiated routinely. RESULTS: Thirty-one patients received either SMCC (n = 17) or SMCC2 (n = 14), and three patients did not (disease too extensive, n = 1; patient refusal, n = 1; and alternative regimen, n = 1). For the 31 patients treated on one of the protocols, the 3-year overall and failure-free survival (FFS) rates were 60% and 57%, respectively. The results were equivalent for SMCC and SMCC2. Radiologic stage was the only independent predictor for FFS (80% at 3 years for stage I and II patients v 38% at 3 years for stage III and IV patients). Distant failure (28%) was the most common cause of failure, with local failure occurring in 13% of patients. The switch to SMCC2 did not improve efficacy but did lessen the toxicity. CONCLUSION: SCCC can be successfully treated in approximately 55% of patients with a combination of irradiation and platinum-based chemotherapy. Disease extent predicts for chance of curability.

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
