Design and Development of a Device (Sifilotto®) for Tumour Tracking in Cervical Cancer Patients Undergoing Robotic Arm LINAC Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Boost: Background to the STARBACS Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Standard of Care (SOC) for locally advanced cervical cancer is represented by external beam radiation therapy concurrent with platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy (cCIRT) followed by brachytherapy boost and immunotherapy maintenance. In some instances, it is impossible to perform brachytherapy due to patient and/or cancer issues. In these circumstances, an external beam boost could be delivered. Using a robotic arm LINAC, it is mandatory to use intramucosal implanted fiducials which are needed for tumour tracking. To avoid invasive procedures, we developed an original intravaginal 3D-printed universal device containing gold fiducials embedded within it. In this paper, we describe the step-by-step procedure that allowed us to obtain the utility model patent, including the in vivo test (feasibility, reproducibility, device compliance) on seven patients within the study protocol "STereotActic Radiotherapy Boost in locally Advanced Cervical carcinoma patientS" (STARBACS).

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.
