Reinforcement learning models show promise for adaptive chemotherapy control

Researchers have developed and compared closed-loop deep reinforcement learning (DRL) policies for adaptive chemotherapy control, utilizing both continuous (TD3) and discrete (DQN) action spaces. These DRL policies were trained on a complex heterogeneous tumor model and benchmarked against a traditional Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP) derived open-loop method. The study assessed the policies' generalization capabilities across a virtual cohort of 100 patients with perturbed growth and drug-sensitivity parameters, revealing a trade-off between tumor reduction and dosing consistency.

    Adaptive Chemotherapy Control under Tumor Heterogeneity via Reinforcement Learning

    arXiv:2609.12264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Designing effective chemotherapy regimens is hindered by tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance, which complicate the deployment of patient-specific model-based optimal control across diverse populations. We develop and compare clo…
