Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine relationships between pituitary tumors and lesion size, invasiveness, resectability, deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy, cell cycle profile, mitotic activity, and immunoreactivity for MIB-1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), p27Kip1, and p53. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred fifty-three adenomas of most pathological subtypes, including 20 medically treated and prolactin and growth hormone-containing tumors, as well as 10 premetastatic tumors and 13 pituitary carcinomas, were studied. RESULTS: Significant (P < 0.05) differences were noted between functional versus nonfunctional adenomas (percent aneuploidy, percent S phase, p27Kip1 labeling indices [LI], male sex, tumor size, and frequency of visual disturbance); Cushing's versus silent adrenocorticotropin adenomas (percent hypertetraploidy, p53 LI, tumor size, visual disturbance, and resectability); untreated versus medically treated prolactin cell adenomas (MIB-1 LI, p53 LI, and resectability); untreated versus medically treated growth hormone-containing adenomas (percent diploidy, percent S phase, MIB-1 LI, p53 LI, and p27 LI); untreated prolactin cell adenomas versus premetastatic tumors (percent hypertetraploidy, PCNA LI, p53 LI, invasiveness, and resectability); untreated growth hormone-containing adenomas versus premetastatic tumors (percent diploidy, percent S phase, PCNA LI, p53 LI, invasiveness, and resectability); Cushing's adenomas versus premetastatic tumors (percent diploidy, percent hypertetraploidy, percent S phase, MIB-1 LI, p53 LI, tumor size, invasiveness, visual disturbance, and resectability); Nelson's adenomas versus premetastatic tumors (p53 LI, tumor size, invasiveness, and resectability); silent adenomas as a whole versus nonfunctional adenomas (percent nondiploid, percent S phase, invasiveness, and respectability); silent adrenocorticotropin adenomas I and II versus silent adenoma Subtype III (invasiveness); silent adrenocorticotropin adenoma Subtypes I and II versus premetastatic tumors (MIB-1 LI and invasiveness); silent adenoma Subtype III versus premetastatic tumors (PCNA and p53 LI); and premetastatic tumors versus metastatic pituitary carcinomas (MIB-1 LI). CONCLUSION: Only trends toward differences were noted between Cushing's versus Nelson's adenomas and between prolactinomas of reproductive female patients versus those of menopausal female patients and male patients. Too few "atypical adenomas" were encountered to permit their comparison with premetastatic tumors, but our results suggest that most pituitary carcinomas arise by malignant transformation from adenomas.

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
