Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression in Canine Mammary Tumors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mammary tumors are the most common neoplasms in female dogs. Induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been implicated in various cancers in humans. However, expression of COX-2 has not been investigated in canine mammary tumors. Normal mammary gland (n = 4), simple or complex adenomas (n = 63), and simple or complex adenocarcinomas (n = 84) were studied by immunohistochemistry. Results showed that COX-2 was not expressed in the normal gland but was detected in 24% of adenomas and in 56% of adenocarcinomas (P < 0.001). The incidence of COX-2 expression and the intensity of the COX-2 signal were higher in adenocarcinomas than in adenomas (P < 0.001). These results demonstrate for the first time that COX-2 is induced in a proportion of canine mammary tumors and that COX-2 expression is more frequent and more intense in malignant than in benign tumors, suggesting a potential role for COX-2 in canine mammary tumorigenesis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
