AI-Augmented Adaptive Digital Twin Modeling for Brain Tumor Evolution Prediction and Treatment Scheduling

arXiv:2607. 13877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Brain tumor progression exhibits spatially heterogeneous growth, patient-specific treatment response, and complex interactions with surrounding anatomy, making accurate long-term prediction challenging.

Adaptive Chemotherapy Control under Tumor Heterogeneity via Reinforcement Learning

The paper presents a study on adaptive chemotherapy control using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to address tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Closed‑loop DRL dosing policies—continuous (TD3) and discrete (DQN)—are trained on a high‑dimensional heterogeneous tumor model and benchmarked against a Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP) open‑loop solution. Across a 100‑patient virtual cohort with ±10% parameter perturbations, TD3 achieves higher average tumor reduction, while DQN offers tighter inter‑patient dosing consistency, highlighting an efficacy‑consistency trade‑off. The work assumes full observation of tumor subpopulations, noting that clinical translation will require handling sparse, noisy measurements.

Observation-Anchored Selective Assimilation for Longitudinal Tumor-State Proxy Forecasting in Post-Treatment Glioma

The paper introduces Observation‑Anchored Selective Assimilation (OASA) for forecasting tumor‑state proxies in post‑treatment glioma patients using serial MRI observations. OASA anchors the patient‑specific state with an intermediate observation and selectively updates it via a tiered rule and voxel‑wise soft gate, outperforming baseline methods in Dice score at certain thresholds. The approach is validated on 120 patient triplets and the code is publicly released.

MedGym:A Unified Continuous-Time Benchmark for Dynamic Medical Treatment Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 01028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical treatment recommendation poses several challenges to reinforcement learning (RL): patient physiology evolves in continuous time, measurements and interventions are performed at irregular intervals, and treatment effects vary substantially across individuals.

Multimodal Empirical Bayes Variational Autoencoders for Joint Longitudinal and Time-to-Event Modeling

arXiv:2607. 13984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Longitudinal tumor measurements, dropout information, and genetic covariates provide complementary information about treatment response, but integrating these data sources within a single population modeling framework remains challenging.
