Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The role of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in the management of thyroid cancer is not clearly defined. In the absence of randomized studies, the review aims to identify any recent literature that helps define the role. RECENT FINDINGS: In differentiated thyroid cancer, single institutional studies report durable locoregional disease control in patients considered to be at high risk of local relapse after EBRT and recent guidelines are consistent in their recommendations. In medullary thyroid cancer, the evidence is more limited but again there is benefit in selected cases. In anaplastic thyroid cancer, multimodality therapy is superior to surgery alone in achieving local control and possibly survival but the benefit must be weighed against the toxicity. Newer radiation techniques may help reduce toxicity. SUMMARY: Although surgery is the main treatment for thyroid carcinoma, EBRT has a role in the adjuvant setting following surgery in high-risk patients and in unresectable cancer. Advances in the delivery of external beam radiotherapy, including intensity-modulated radiotherapy reduces toxicity.

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
