Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Women carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation have an up to 80% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. It is especially important to understand the experiences of these women, as their lives are permeated with the threat of cancer. This qualitative study examined the experiences of six young women of reproductive age (age < 45 years) who were identified as carriers. The analysis of the semi-structured interviews inspired by grounded theory methodology, showed that participants experienced the same type of uncertainty demonstrated by women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer.

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.
