Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It is widely known that tumor hypoxia worsens radiotherapy (RT) outcomes across many solid cancer types. Previous research on manganese dioxide nanoparticles have shown promise in their concurrent MR enhancement and tumor hypoxia reduction abilities. I hypothesized that MR enhancement can predict the efficacy of tumor hypoxia reduction. In orthotopic ME-180 and patient-derived OCICx 34 cervical cancer tumors, manganese dioxide nanoparticle generated sustained and consistent tumor-specific MR enhancement but differed in their enhancement pattern. Although both tumor models showed some tumor hypoxia reduction, the overall response to T-MX was heterogenous. Furthermore, manganese dioxide nanoparticle efficacy in RT is likely driven by both oxygen-dependent and independent mechanisms, with tumor-specific factors such as perfusion, tumor-stromal architecture, and hypoxia contributing to differences in therapeutic response. Our work suggests that while MR enhancement does not reliably predict tumor hypoxia reduction efficacy, it provides insights into tumor characteristics that may support predictions of treatment response.

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.
