Outcomes for oligometastatic head and neck cancer treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy: Results from an international multi‐institutional consortium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: We report the results of an international multi-institutional cohort of oligometastatic (OMD) head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with SBRT. METHODS: Patients with OMD HNC (≤5 metastases) treated with SBRT between 2008 and 2016 at six institutions were included. Treated metastasis control (TMC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by multivariable analysis (MVA). RESULTS: Forty-two patients with 84 HNC oligometastases were analyzed. The TMC rate at 1 and 2 years were 80% and 66%, with a median time to recurrence of 10.1 months. The median PFS and OS were 4.7 and 23.3 months. MVA identified a PTV point maximum (BED)10 > 100 Gy as a predictor of improved TMC (HR = 0.31, p = 0.034), and a cumulative PTV > 48 cc as having worse PFS (HR = 2.99, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Favorable TMC and OS was observed in OMD HNCs treated with SBRT.

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.
