Short- and long-term weekly patient-reported outcomes prediction undergoing radiotherapy: single-patient time series model vs. transformer-based multi-patient time series model by Yang Yan, Zhong Chen, Xinglei Shen, Ronald C. Chen, Hao Gao

“…Results Key experimental results on prostate cancer patients demonstrate that (1) VAR-Inc demonstrated superior performance (lower MAE/RMSE) over VAR, highlighting the importance of incremental PRO updates. (2) TFT significantly outperformed both VAR models in long-term prediction, with statistical significance, by utilizing multi-patient data. (3) TFT effectively captured weekly PRO trends and variations, aligning closely with ground truth. (4) Unlike single-patient models, TFT built robust predictive frameworks by integrating cross-patient similarities and complementary patients’ PRO information. …”

A novel structural modeling magnitude and orientation radiomic descriptor for evaluating response to neoadjuvant therapy in rectal cancers via MRI by Charlems Alvarez-Jimenez, Jacob T. Antunes, Thomas DeSilvio, Zhouping Wei, Marwa Ismail, Joseph E. Willis, Emily Steinhagen, Andrei Purysko, David Liska, Smitha Krishnamurthi, Marka Crittenden, Michael Gough, Kristina Young, Anant Madabhushi, Eduardo Romero, Pallavi Tiwari, Satish E. Viswanath

“…Combined with traditional radiomic texture features, StODeO showed superior performance in distinguishing pathologic response groups of rectal cancer patients post-chemoradiation (hold-out validation AUC 0.77) as well as segregating composite response groups in a clinical trial of immune checkpoint inhibitors (external validation accuracy 0.71; NCT02688712). The integrated StODeO-texture signature demonstrated robustness across annotation sources and imaging variations, intuitive modeling of therapy-associated structural changes, and statistical associations with tumor-immune biology, including macrophages and CD8+ T-cells from multiplexed biopsy analysis. …”
