Chemotherapy for Colorectal Cancer
Abstract
Carcinoma of the large bowel, which will afflict over 150,000 Americans this year, is second only to lung cancer as a cause of death from cancer1. Although most patients present with surgically resectable disease, almost half die of the cancer. Radiation therapy has a largely palliative role. In the past, chemotherapy resulted in only infrequent and usually transient shrinkage of the tumor, scarcely justifying the discomforts and costs of the treatment. In recent years, however, there have been some advances. In the discussion that follows, credence is given only to therapeutic claims validated by controlled trials with sufficiently long . . .

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.
