- 融合机制模型与可微求解器,统一建模肿瘤生长和标准治疗
- 在胶质瘤数据上优于传统方程与纯数据驱动模型
- 适合精准肿瘤学与个性化治疗规划研究者使用
准确预测标准治疗方案下肿瘤的演变轨迹仍是肿瘤学中的重大挑战,对优化治疗计划和预判疾病进展至关重要。传统反应-扩散模型受限于无法捕捉异质性治疗策略下的肿瘤动态。因此亟需能真实模拟标准治疗并考虑基因组、人口统计学和治疗方案差异的计算框架。本文提出标准治疗数字孪生(SoC-DT),一种可微分框架,整合反应-扩散肿瘤生长模型、离散标准治疗干预(手术、化疗、放疗)以及基因组与人口统计学个性化信息,以预测影像上的术后肿瘤结构。同时提出隐式-显式指数时间差分求解器(IMEX-SoC),确保在标准治疗情境下的稳定性、保正性和可扩展性。在合成数据和真实世界胶质瘤数据上的评估显示,SoC-DT在预测肿瘤动态方面持续优于经典偏微分方程基线和纯数据驱动神经模型。通过结合机制可解释性与现代可微求解器,SoC-DT为肿瘤学中的个体化数字孪生奠定了原则性基础,实现生物一致性肿瘤动态估计。代码将在接受后公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate prediction of tumor trajectories under standard-of-care (SoC) therapies remains a major unmet need in oncology. This capability is essential for optimizing treatment planning and anticipating disease progression. Conventional reaction-diffusion models are limited in scope, as they fail to capture tumor dynamics under heterogeneous therapeutic paradigms. There is hence a critical need for computational frameworks that can realistically simulate SoC interventions while accounting for inter-patient variability in genomics, demographics, and treatment regimens. We introduce Standard-of-Care Digital Twin (SoC-DT), a differentiable framework that unifies reaction-diffusion tumor growth models, discrete SoC interventions (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) along with genomic and demographic personalization to predict post-treatment tumor structure on imaging. An implicit-explicit exponential time-differencing solver, IMEX-SoC, is also proposed, which ensures stability, positivity, and scalability in SoC treatment situations. Evaluated on both synthetic data and real world glioma data, SoC-DT consistently outperforms classical PDE baselines and purely data-driven neural models in predicting tumor dynamics. By bridging mechanistic interpretability with modern differentiable solvers, SoC-DT establishes a principled foundation for patient-specific digital twins in oncology, enabling biologically consistent tumor dynamics estimation. Code will be made available upon acceptance.
