Subsequent meningiomas in survivors of childhood cancer: A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
10058 Background: Meningiomas are the most common subsequent central nervous system tumor among aging survivors of childhood cancer, yet incidence across the lifespan, occurrence of multiple meningiomas, and risk for mortality are not established. Methods: Meningiomas were identified by self-report and validated with pathology/medical records. Twenty-year cumulative incidence of meningioma (95% confidence interval) was estimated and multivariable models assessed demographic- and treatment-related meningioma risk factors. Results: Among 24,902 5-year survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed 1970-1999, we identified 472 survivors with 710 meningiomas, 145 (20.4%) of which were WHO grade 2/3. Among survivors with meningioma, 137 (28%) had ≥2 meningiomas, and 80 (16%) met criteria for meningiomatosis. The median latency from childhood cancer to first meningioma diagnosis was 26.2 years (range 5.6-48.2), and the median time from first to second meningioma (among those without meningiomatosis) was 1.4 years (range 0-30.2 years). The twenty-year cumulative incidence did not significantly decrease between survivors diagnosed in the 1970s (0.58, 95% CI 0.41-0.79) and the 1990s (0.42, 95% CI 0.32-0.55). In multivariable analysis, female sex (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.21-1.91) and all cranial radiotherapy dose levels ( > 0-30Gy, HR 57.0, 95% CI 7.93-419.60; 30.1-50 Gy, HR 228.90, 95% CI 30.89-1695.99; > 50 Gy, HR 113.29, 95% CI 15.09-850.34) were associated with increased meningioma risk, while older age at diagnosis (10-14 years, HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.44-0.82; 15-20 years, HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.22-0.55) was associated with reduced meningioma risk. Among 71 deaths in survivors with meningioma, the most prevalent cause of death was meningioma (N = 25, 35.2%). The 5-year all-cause mortality from first meningioma diagnosis was 4.20% (95% CI: 2.44-5.96%). Conclusions: In conclusion, cranial radiation, younger diagnostic age and female sex were identified as independent meningioma risk factors in, to our knowledge, the largest study to date. The risk for meningioma-associated mortality argues for assertive meningioma surveillance and treatment in this population.

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.
