Abstract
Women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation are at an elevated risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer; however, it is unclear to what extent family history influences the uptake of cancer prevention options. Women with a BRCA1/2 mutation completed a follow-up questionnaire that assessed uptake of cancer preventive options. The pedigree of each woman was reviewed, and information was recorded on cancers diagnosed in relatives. Five hundred and seventeen women were included in the study. Women with a sister with breast cancer were more likely to have a prophylactic mastectomy than those without a sister with breast cancer [odds ratios (OR) = 2.4, p = 0.003]. Uptake of prophylactic mastectomy was significantly lower in women with a mother with ovarian cancer compared with those whose mother did not have ovarian cancer (OR = 0.4, p = 0.01). Having a mother or sister with ovarian cancer significantly predicted the uptake of prophylactic oophorectomy (OR = 1.6, p = 0.04). Women with a BRCA2 mutation were less likely to have a prophylactic oophorectomy than those with a BRCA1 mutation (OR = 0.49, p = 0.0004). Among women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, family history predicts the uptake of prophylactic mastectomy and prophylactic oophorectomy.

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
