Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among males globally, and it has one of the highest 5-year net survival rates of all cancers. Most diagnosed individuals, therefore, must live with the consequences of the disease and its treatments, including sexual side effects. Unfortunately, little is known about the sexual outcomes of PCa in individuals who identify as gay or bisexual. OBJECTIVES: To highlight the unique concerns, experiences, and needs of gay and bisexual men with PCa by reviewing the literature on sexual outcomes in this patient population. METHODS: A literature review through June 2019 was conducted, with a focus on sexual outcomes in gay and bisexual men with PCa; comparisons of sexual outcomes between heterosexual and gay and bisexual men with PCa; and the health care experiences of gay and bisexual men with PCa, specifically with regards to discussing sex with health care providers. RESULTS: Gay and bisexual men with PCa report a number of unique sexual concerns compared to their heterosexual counterparts. They face heteronormative biases and homophobia in the health care system and are frequently dissatisfied with the information they receive with regards to PCa and sexuality. CONCLUSION: There has been limited research on the experiences of gay and bisexual men with PCa; additional research to replicate and extend upon the findings of previous studies is warranted. Research on the experiences of PCa patients and survivors should be inclusive of participants of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Research results must be translated into clinical practice, so that health care providers can communicate specific and relevant information to their gay and bisexual patients. McInnis MK, Pukall, CF.

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
