Abstract
BACKGROUND: The utility of cytokeratin (CK)5/6 in distinguishing reactive urothelial atypia (RA) from urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS) and from noninvasive component of high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is unknown. DESIGN: Twenty RA with or without papillary hyperplasia and 90 noninvasive components of neoplastic urothelial lesions were submitted for immunostaining with CK5/6, CK20, and p16. RESULTS: Diffuse and strong reactivity involving the full or nearly full thickness of urothelium was observed with CK5/6 in 90% of RA cases. CK20 and p16 were negative in 90% and 85% of the RA cases, respectively. For CIS and noninvasive components of high-grade PUC without squamous differentiation, there was no CK5/6 staining or reactivity in the basal layer only. CK20 and p16 showed strong positivity in full thickness of urothelium in 75% to 85% of cases. CIS with weak/focal or negative reactivity for p16 or CK20 exhibited moderate cytologic atypia. Low-grade PUC displayed variable reactivity for CK5/6, CK20, and p16. Urothelial lesions with squamoid or basaloid features showed positive reactivity for CK5/6. Urothelial lesions with glandular differentiation showed negative reactivity for CK5/6. CONCLUSIONS: Diffuse CK5/6 reactivity in RA and negative CK5/6 reactivity in CIS and PUC may be helpful in distinguishing between these 2 entities.

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
