Abstract
Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is an endemic with high incidence in Southern China and Southeast Asia countries. Screening for NPC under conventional white light imaging (WLI) nasopharyngoscope examination remains a great clinical challenge due to its poor sensitivity. Here, we developed an integrated 4-modality endoscopy system combining WLI, autofluorescence imaging (AFI), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy technologies for in vivo endoscopic cancer detection for the first time. A pilot clinical test of the system for NPC detection was conducted, in which 283 in vivo Raman and diffuse reflectance spectral data sets from 30 NPC patients and 30 healthy subjects were acquired under the guidance of AFI and WLI. Both high diagnostic sensitivity (98.6%) and high specificity (95.1%) for differentiating cancer from normal tissue sites were achieved using this system combined with principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis diagnostic algorithm, demonstrating great potential for improving real-time, in vivo diagnosis of NPC at endoscopy.

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
