Belief-Space Control for Personalized Cancer Treatment via Active Inference

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 10376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cancer treatment is at the core a sequential decision-making problem with partial observability, latent patient heterogeneity, and explicit constraints on the budget for medical measurements.

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.

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.
