Oxylipins as Biomarkers for Aromatase Inhibitor-Induced Arthralgia (AIA) in Breast Cancer Patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia (AIA) presents a major problem for patients with breast cancer but is poorly understood. This prospective study explored the inflammatory metabolomic changes in the development of AIA. This single-arm, prospective clinical trial enrolled 28 postmenopausal women with early-stage (0–3) ER+ breast cancer starting adjuvant anastrozole. Patients completed the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT) Symptom Checklist and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) at 0, 3, and 6 months. The plasma levels of four polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and 48 oxylipins were quantified at each timepoint. The subscores for WOMAC-pain and stiffness as well as BCPT-total, hot flash, and musculoskeletal pain significantly increased from baseline to 6 months (all p < 0.05). PUFA and oxylipin levels were stable over time. The baseline levels of 8-HETE were positively associated with worsening BCPT-total, BCPT-hot flash, BCPT-musculoskeletal pain, WOMAC-pain, and WOMAC- stiffness at 6 months (all p < 0.05). Both 9-HOTrE and 13(S)-HOTrE were related to worsening hot flash, and 5-HETE was related to worsening stiffness (all p < 0.05). This is the first study to prospectively characterize oxylipin and PUFA levels in patients with breast cancer starting adjuvant anastrozole. The oxylipin 8-HETE should be investigated further as a potential biomarker for AIA.

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.
