Long‑term survival in a patient with extensive‑stage small cell lung cancer treated with multiple courses of salvage stereotactic radiation after whole brain radiotherapy: A case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intracranial recurrence following initial cranial irradiation for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) can often be a treatment dilemma given the aggressive nature of the disease, the overall poor prognosis and concerns regarding re-treatment toxicity. The present report describes the case of a 62-year-old man diagnosed with ES-SCLC and synchronous brain metastases who initially underwent whole brain radiotherapy, chemotherapy and consolidative thoracic radiotherapy. The patient was found to have a solitary intracranial recurrence at both 3.5 and 6 years after his diagnosis. On both occasions, the patient received salvage stereotactic radiation, 30 Gy in 5 fractions, and continues to remain functionally independent. Overall, the present case demonstrates that with the appropriate patient selection, aggressive local salvage of recurrent intracranial ES-SCLC with stereotactic radiation can yield excellent and durable clinical outcomes.

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.
