Managing cancer risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematous
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Numerous studies have clearly demonstrated that there is an altered cancer risk profile in patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) versus the general population. This includes a higher risk of certain cancers (e.g. hematologic, lung) and a decreased risk of others (e.g. breast cancer). Several determinants could be behind this altered risk; these include immunosuppressant drugs, viral exposures, genetic factors, and other variables. Area covered: We review what is known regarding specific risk profiles and risk factors for some key cancers in SLE, including hematologic malignancies and lung cancers. In light of this, we examine current guidelines and practices regarding cancer screening, and propose ways that patients and physicians might help manage cancer risk in SLE. Expert commentary: Despite significant progress over the past decade, not many risk factors have been precisely identified. A better understanding of the elements that drive malignancy risk in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases may permit the further development of guidelines (regarding. cancer screening) for SLE 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.
