摘要:
转移性前列腺癌是全球癌症相关发病和死亡的主要原因之一,死亡率高且预后差。本文探索临床肿瘤学家如何应用Stackelberg博弈论框架延长转移性前列腺癌患者生存期甚至使其转为慢性病。利用贝叶斯优化方法确定单药(阿比特龙)的最佳适应性化疗策略以最大化患者出现症状前的时间。研究表明,精确的药物递送适应性优化可显著延长癌症抑制期,多数患者的转移性前列腺癌可能从终末期疾病转为慢性病,临床和分析证据支持此结论。通过计算和理论分析证明,实施高级严格控制(HLTC)治疗,即给药和停药的触发信号(生物标志物水平)都高且接近,通常能产生最佳结果,这可为改善其他激素敏感性癌症的当前适应性化疗提供有价值的指导。
英文摘要:
Metastatic prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is characterized by a high mortality rate and a poor prognosis. In this work, we explore how a clinical oncologist can apply a Stackelberg game-theoretic framework to prolong metastatic prostate cancer survival, or even make it chronic in duration. We utilize a Bayesian optimization approach to identify the optimal adaptive chemotherapeutic treatment policy for a single drug (Abiraterone) to maximize the time before the patient begins to show symptoms. We show that, with precise adaptive optimization of drug delivery, it is possible to significantly prolong the cancer suppression period, potentially converting metastatic prostate cancer from a terminal disease to a chronic disease for most patients, as supported by clinical and analytical evidence. We suggest that clinicians might explore the possibility of implementing a high-level tight control (HLTC) treatment, in which the trigger signals (i.e. biomarker levels) for drug administration and cessation are both high and close together, typically yield the best outcomes, as demonstrated through both computation and theoretical analysis. This simple insight could serve as a valuable guide for improving current adaptive chemotherapy treatments in other hormone-sensitive cancers.
