Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cytotoxic chemotherapy can achieve a good initial response in inoperable desmoid tumors that have caused progressive obstruction of the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts and have caused unrelenting pain. METHODS: We have reviewed 8 patients (3 male) with desmoid tumors and familial adenomatous polyposis who underwent cytotoxic chemotherapy for inoperable gastrointestinal obstruction and/or uncontrolled pain. They were treated with doxorubicin and dacarbazine followed by carboplatin and dacarbazine. RESULTS: Follow-up after cytotoxic chemotherapy in the 7 patients for whom it was available was a mean of 42 (range 24-54) months. Two patients achieved complete remission after therapy. Four patients achieved a partial remission after completing all or some of the chemotherapy regimen; of these, three remained in stable remission, whereas the other was lost to follow-up. There were two recurrences that required further therapy; one of these patients was treated with further chemotherapy, which induced a second remission, and the other was treated with pelvic exenteration and has subsequently died. CONCLUSIONS: Most patients had a substantial response to cytotoxic chemotherapy; however, two patients required additional therapy 24 and 30 months after cytotoxic chemotherapy, respectively. Cytotoxic chemotherapy is effective in producing short-term and long-term remission in these difficult patients.

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
