Prognostic factors for patients with relapsed central nervous system nongerminomatous germ cell tumors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We aimed toidentify prognostic factors that may help better understand the behavior of relapsed central nervous system nongerminomatous germ cell tumors. We identified nine studies, including 101 patients; 33 patients (33%) were alive 12 months post-initial relapse. Sixty percent of patients with serum/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level ≤25 ng/mL at initial diagnosis were survivors compared with 28% among patients with serum/CSF AFP level >25 ng/mL (P = 0.01). Seventy-one percent of patients who achieved complete response/continued complete response (CR/CCR) by the end of therapy at relapse were survivors compared with 7% among patients who had less than CR/CCR (P < 0.0001). Forty-eight percent of patients who received marrow-ablative chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic cell rescue (HDCx/AuHCR) following relapse were survivors compared with 12% among patients who did not receive HDCx/AuHCR (P = 0.0001). Local relapse site, gross total surgical resection, and radiotherapy at relapse were not associated with improved outcomes.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
