Overall survival and clinical characteristics of BRCA germline/somatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
244 Background: Biliary tract cancers (BTC) exhibit a diverse and high frequency of actionable mutations detectable using next generation sequencing (NGS). The Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium reported that BRCA2 mutation carriers are at increased risk for BTC with estimated relative risk of 4.97, (95% CI = 1. 50-16.52). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of germline/somatic BRCA1/2mutations in CCA patients. Methods: Multi-center retrospective analysis of patients with germline/somatic BRCA1/2- associated CCA diagnosed between January 2000 and December 2013. Cases were identified from clinical databases at participating institutions. Data including demographics, clinical history, surgical procedures and systemic chemotherapy or radiation were extracted from patient records. Results: Overall, we identified 18 cases including 5 carriers of germline BRCA1/2 mutations (4 BRCA2; 1 BRCA1) and 13 harboring somatic mutations (7 BRCA1; 6 BRCA2) using a NGS panel testing tumor for 'actionable' mutations. One patient presented with two different somatic mutations in the BRCA2gene. Mean age at diagnosis was 60 years (range 36-75), male: females (61.2% vs 38.8%, respectively). Stage at diagnosis: I (n = 4), II (n = 3), III (n = 3) and IV (n = 8). Six patients had extrahepatic CAA; twelve patients had intrahepatic CCA. Prior therapy in 13 patients included platinum-based therapy with one patient receiving prior olaparib. Median overall survival for patients with stage I/II is 34.7 months (95% CI, 7.06-62.9) and for stages III/IV is 25 months (95% CI, 12.02-35.84). Conclusions: BRCA associated CCA may have an enhanced therapeutic sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. This needs confirmation in a larger cohort of patients.

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.
