Changes in estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and Her-2/neu status with time: discordance rates between primary and metastatic breast cancer.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Changes in the receptor profile between primary and metastatic breast cancer tissue have been suggested. The degree of hormone receptor discordance in archival paired pathological samples was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Archival data were collected on 100 patients for whom tissue from primary and metastatic sites was available. Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and Her-2/neu status in the primary and metastasis were compared. RESULTS: The discordance rate for ER was 17.7% (2-sided p=0.0039) with 9.7% of tumours changing from ER-positive to ER-negative and 8.0% changing from ER-negative to ER-positive. The discordance rate for PR was 37.3% (2-sided p<0.0001), with all of these tumours changing from PR-positive to PR-negative. No significant discordance for Her-2/neu was found. CONCLUSIONS: This series suggests that significant discordance exists for hormone receptor status between primary and metastatic breast cancer samples. Loss of PR was particularly frequent.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
