Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVES: Because of their rarity, lacrimal sac tumors (LSTs) are challenging to diagnose and treat. We herein provide an overview of the recent literature. METHODS: A scoping search of the Cochrane library, PubMed and Google Scholar database in the last 5 years was conducted. Three independent reviewers extracted data, and the findings were summarized due to study heterogeneity. RESULTS: A total of 55 articles were included. LST histology is diverse and there is no commonly accepted staging system. Recent discoveries in their biology are offering new treatment strategies but exclusive endoscopic resections remain feasible in only very limited cases of non-aggressive LSTs. CONCLUSION: LSTs require a high index of suspicion because of their rarity. A histotype-driven treatment plan must be carefully prepared, but complete excision remains the cornerstone of treatment in all cases.

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.
