Evaluation of treatment outcomes in patients with supraglottic laryngeal cancer in Ontario, Canada: A population‐based study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma has an entirely different etiology, clinical presentation, and prognosis compared to glottis cancer but the only evidence for the use of concurrent chemotherapy with radiotherapy (CRT) is the 5.4% 5-year improvement in overall survival (OS) for the combined laryngeal site. METHOD: We conducted a retrospective population-based study using administrative data to compare OS, disease-specific survival (DSS), laryngectomy-free survival, and laryngoesophageal dysfunction-free survival over time and by treatment for all patients with supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma diagnosed between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2014, in Ontario, Canada. RESULTS: There was no improvement over time in OS (hazard ratio [HR] 1.006; P = .90), DSS (HR 1.031; P = .65), or laryngoesophageal dysfunction-free survival (P = .39). The patients selected for CRT had similar OS (HR 1.04; P = .66), laryngectomy-free survival (HR 0.95; P = .23), and laryngoesophageal dysfunction-free survival (P = .79) compared with patients undergoing radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: The addition of CRT by head and neck oncologists in Ontario, Canada, did not improve outcomes for the "real world" patients with supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma.

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.
