Biomonitoring of urinary tamoxifen and its metabolites from breast cancer patients using nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with electrospray mass spectrometry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tamoxifen is an antiestrogen drug used to treat breast cancer. We have extracted tamoxifen and several of its metabolites from urine of patients with both metastatic (stage IV) and locally confined (stages I, II, and III) breast cancer. Analysis of these metabolites was performed by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis with electrospray-mass spectrometry. Peak heights from extracted ion current electropherograms of the metabolites were used to establish a metabolic profile for each patient. We demonstrate substantial variation among patient profiles, statistically significant differences in the amount of urinary tamoxifen N-oxide found in stages I, II, and III compared to stage IV breast cancer patients, and statistically significant differences in the amount of 3,4-dihydroxytamoxifen found in progressors compared to nonprogressors with metastatic (stage IV) cancer.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
