Survivin expression is associated with bladder cancer presence, stage, progression, and mortality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose was to compare the differential expression of Survivin in normal bladder tissue, bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of different stages, and to determine whether expression of Survivin is associated with TCC clinical outcomes. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining for Survivin was carried out on archival bladder specimens from 9 normal controls and 222 consecutive patients who underwent radical cystectomy and bilateral lymphadenectomy. Lymph node tissue involved with TCC from 50 of the 222 cystectomy patients was also evaluated. RESULTS: Survivin was expressed in none of the normal bladder specimens, 64% of the cystectomy specimens, and 94% of the malignant lymph nodes. Multivariable analyses performed in the cystectomy patients revealed that Survivin expression was associated with disease recurrence (P = .040), disease-specific mortality (P = .037), and all-cause mortality (P = .044). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the study provide a rationale for further evaluation of Survivin and its downstream signaling pathways in bladder cancer and raise the potential for Survivin-targeted therapy for bladder 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.
