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
Biophysics
Medical imaging analysis

Background:

Biophysical models using partial differential equations (PDEs) show promise for personalized disease treatment.
Solving the inverse problem in these models is challenging due to high computational costs or limited deep learning (DL) robustness.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel 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 medical images.

Main Methods:

A hybrid approach combining a DL ensemble for initial parameter estimation with an evolutionary strategy for refinement.
Utilizing a DL-based prior to constrain the parameter space for evolutionary sampling.
Applying the framework to estimate brain tumor cell concentrations using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Main Results:

The DL-Prior significantly reduced the effective sampling-parameter space.
Achieved a fivefold acceleration in convergence speed.
Obtained a high accuracy with a Dice-score of 95% in brain tumor cell concentration estimation.

Conclusions:

The synergistic integration of DL and evolutionary strategies offers a powerful solution for inverse problems in biophysical modeling.
This novel framework enhances computational efficiency and accuracy in medical image analysis for personalized medicine.
