Abstract
The incidence of multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) is increasing, with some of our surgical patients exhibiting numerous lesions. We defined lung cancer with five or more primary lesions as super MPLCs. Elucidating the genomic characteristics of this special MPLC subtype can help reduce disease burden and understand tumor evolution. In our cohort of synchronous super early-stage MPLCs (PUMCH-ssesMPLC), whole-exome sequencing on 130 resected malignant specimens from 18 patients provided comprehensive super-MPLC genomic landscapes. Mutations are enriched in PI3k-Akt and MAPK pathways. Their BRAF mutation frequency (31.5%) is significantly higher than MPLC with fewer lesions and early-stage single-lesion cancer, while EGFR mutations are significantly fewer (13.8%). As lesion counts increase, BRAF mutations gradually become dominant. Also, invasive lesions more tend to have classic super-MPLC mutation patterns. High-frequency BRAF mutations, especially Class II, and low-frequency EGFR mutations could be a reason for the limited effectiveness of targeted therapy in super-MPLC patients.

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 it
