Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a standard treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) at an early stage. Given that pathological complete response is strongly associated with long-term clinical and survival benefits, the selection of appropriate treatment before and after surgery could further optimise treatment outcomes. With the emergence of immunotherapy in breast cancer, more combination treatment options are available, such as pembrolizumab, a programmed death receptor 1 inhibitor, which is approved for the perioperative treatment of stage II and III TNBC. However, the implementation of immunotherapy in perioperative settings for TNBC requires further discussion regarding patient selection and the use of different treatments in conjunction with immunotherapy. The Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation convened a multidisciplinary consensus panel consisting of surgeons, clinical oncologists, and medical oncologists to initiate this discussion. A modified Delphi panel was conducted, evaluating seven topics and 45 statements covering the workup and perioperative treatment of early-stage TNBC (eTNBC). The consensus statements provide guidance on determining whether a patient with eTNBC is a suitable candidate for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

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.
