Tumor Progression

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Area of Science:

Computational biology
Medical imaging analysis
Biophysics

Background:

Biophysical modeling using partial differential equations (PDEs) is crucial for personalized disease treatment.
Solving the inverse problem in biophysical models is computationally intensive or lacks robustness with deep learning (DL) alone.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel hybrid framework integrating DL and evolutionary strategies for efficient biophysical model parameter estimation.
To improve the accuracy and speed of estimating brain tumor cell concentrations from MRI data.

Main Methods:

A DL ensemble is used for initial parameter estimation, creating a DL-based prior.
An evolution strategy is employed for downstream sampling, initialized with the DL-based prior.
The framework is applied to estimate brain tumor cell concentrations from magnetic resonance images (MRIs).

Main Results:

The DL-Prior significantly constrains the parameter space, accelerating convergence by fivefold.
The hybrid approach achieved a high Dice score of 95% in brain tumor concentration estimation.
Demonstrated synergistic integration of rapid DL algorithms and high-precision evolution strategies.

Conclusions:

The proposed hybrid framework offers a computationally efficient and robust solution for inverse problems in biophysical modeling.
This approach enhances the potential for personalized medicine through accurate patient-specific modeling.
The method shows significant promise for applications in medical imaging and disease treatment optimization.
