Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present the case of a 56-year-old male with cecal involvement of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), whose tumor was refractory to multiple chemotherapy regimens and ultimately resulted in significant local complications due to tumor erosion, leading to considerable morbidity. NHL is the most common hematologic cancer with many subtypes of disease, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) being the most common. Extra-nodular presentation in the gastrointestinal tract is typical in many cases; however, the involvement of the colon is rare. This case details a patient with extra-nodal involvement of the cecum. The patient initially presented with an enlarging neck mass. This report highlights the importance of evaluating extra-nodular disease.

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.
