Treatment of Patients with Cancer of an Unknown Primary Site
Abstract
Few diagnoses in medicine engender as much pessimism as the diagnosis of metastatic cancer of an unknown primary site. Patients with this syndrome often have widespread metastatic disease, with involvement of multiple visceral sites such as the liver, lungs, and bones, and are often debilitated at the time of diagnosis. Early reports of chemotherapy in these patients documented low rates of response and no effect on the dismal median survival of three to four months, thereby strengthening arguments for a nihilistic approach14.Recently, however, the treatment of some patients with cancer of an unknown primary site has improved . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
