Reirradiation for recurrent craniopharyngioma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: Reirradiation is rarely administered to patients with recurrent craniopharyngioma owing to concerns regarding visual and endocrine side effects. The purpose of this case series was to evaluate our institutional experience of patients with craniopharyngioma treated with 2 courses of fractionated radiation therapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A retrospective study was performed of all patients with craniopharyngioma treated with 2 courses of fractionated radiation therapy at a single institution. Electronic medical records and radiation therapy records were reviewed. RESULTS: We identified 4 eligible patients with recurrent craniopharyngioma. With a median follow-up of 33 months after reirradiation, 3 patients attained disease control; 1 patient developed progressive disease, 27 months after reirradiation. In 3 evaluable patients, vision remained stable or improved after reirradiation; one patient had no light perception before reirradiation. None of the patients experienced additional endocrine toxicities after reirradiation, apart from one patient who had low serum thyroid stimulating hormone before reirradiation and later developed hypothyroidism after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Reirradiation may represent a safe and effective therapeutic option for selected patients with recurrent, refractory craniopharyngioma and without other salvage treatment options. Larger studies with longer-term follow up are warranted to better understand outcomes in these patients.

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.
