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.

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.

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.
