Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There are similarities between neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and primary breast cancers. A misdiagnosis can significantly affect prognosis and patient treatment plans, leading to potential catastrophic effects on patient care. In this study, we look at two cases in which NET was misdiagnosed as a primary breast cancer, in the breast in one case, and as metastatic breast cancer in the liver in the other case. The goals of this study were to highlight the pathological overlap between primary breast cancer with NET features and neuroendocrine tumors and the differences between their radiological appearances and to suggest steps to prevent this misdiagnosis from occurring, highlighting both the utility of informed clinical suspicion and timed imaging and pathology reviews.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
