Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Prostate cancer is an important healthcare issue in men worldwide. With the advent of prostate-specific antigen screening and improved diagnostic techniques, prostate cancer is now being diagnosed in younger men and at earlier disease stages. As a result, patients often live with their disease for many years after diagnosis. This shift in the patient profile has focused attention to the impact of treatment on quality of life. Medical/surgical castration has traditionally been the mainstay of hormonal therapy but is associated with side effects including loss of libido and impotence. Nonsteroidal antiandrogens such as bicalutamide (Casodex) offer an effective alternative to castration with potential quality-of-life benefits. This paper reviews the evidence concerning the use of bicalutamide at all stages of the disease.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
