Abstract
BACKGROUND: As dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the most potent androgen in the prostate, inhibition of the 5alpha-reductase isoenzymes, which convert testosterone to DHT, could be an appropriate target for the treatment of prostate cancer. METHODS: Eighty-one men with clinically localized prostate cancer received daily dutasteride 3.5 or 0.5 mg, or no therapy for 4 months before radical prostatectomy. Histopathological assessments were conducted on prostatectomy specimens. RESULTS: Treatment with dutasteride was associated with reductions in serum and intraprostatic DHT of >or=90%, and a decrease in total prostate and tumor volumes. No effect of dutasteride was noted on Gleason grade. Histopathological effects on benign tissue were similar but less prominent than those seen with androgen ablation, whereas there was no significant difference in cancer histology among the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Dutasteride treatment results in similar but less marked changes compared with androgen ablation.

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
