Reinforcement Learning applied to optimize cancer chemotherapy treatments

A research study has explored the application of reinforcement learning (RL) techniques for optimizing cancer chemotherapy treatments. The study focuses on generating optimal policies for sequential treatments, building upon existing online RL approaches. It presents a simulation using traditional Q-learning and extends to offline RL methods, utilizing real human colon cancer clinical data. The proposed Chemo RL model, implemented with a model-based architecture using conservative Q-learning and model-based offline policy optimization, aims to support oncologists in treatment decision-making.
