Abstract
PURPOSE: A population-based cohort study of soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities (STSE) in Ontario, Canada was conducted using linked administrative databases. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Electronic administrative databases were linked from the Ontario Cancer Registry, the Canadian Institute for Health Information, and Radiation Oncology Research Unit database of radiation therapy (RT) records. RESULTS: The definitive surgery was amputation for 6.0%, resection for 60.9%, biopsy for 7.5%; the remainder had no surgical record. Adjuvant RT was administered to 40.2% of cases. Among cases initially treated by surgical resection, 2.0% later underwent amputation and 9.5% underwent further resection during follow-up. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for amputation as definitive surgery was 2.3 (1.19, 4.45) in eastern Ontario relative to Toronto. The likelihood of adjuvant RT among those not registered at a cancer centre within 3 months of diagnosis was decreased (OR = 0.20 (95% CI (0.13, 0.30)) relative to those registered. The adjusted relative risk of amputation at any time following diagnosis was 3.48 (95% CI (1.63, 7.46)) among cases not attending a cancer centre. The adjusted relative risk of death was 1.4; 95% CI (1.1, 1.7) among those not attending a cancer centre. CONCLUSIONS: Cases not seen at a multidisciplinary cancer centre within 3 months following diagnosis of STSE have an increased relative risk for amputation at any time, and for death due to any cause. Many hypotheses for further study are suggested by the results of this analysis.

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
