Chemotherapy with radiotherapy influences time-to-development of radiation-induced sarcomas: a multicenter study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: An increasing number and proportion of cancer patients with apparently localised disease are treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in contemporary oncology practice. In a pilot study of radiation-induced sarcoma (RIS) patients, we demonstrated that chemotherapy was associated with a reduced time to development of RIS. We now present a multi-centre collaborative study to validate this association. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of RIS cases across five large international sarcoma centres between 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2014. The primary endpoint was time to development of RIS. RESULTS: We identified 419 patients with RIS. Chemotherapy for the first malignancy was associated with a shorter time to RIS development (HR 1.37; 95% CI: 1.08-1.72; P=0.009). In the multi-variable model, older age (HR 2.11; 95% CI 1.83-2.43; P<0.001) and chemotherapy for the first malignancy (HR 1.61; 95% CI 1.26-2.05; P<0·001) were independently associated with a shorter time to RIS. Anthracyclines and alkylating agents significantly contribute to the effect. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms an association between chemotherapy given for the first malignancy and a shorter time to development of RIS.

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.
