It is well-known that cancers of the same histology type can respond differently to a treatment. Thus, computational drug response prediction paramount importance for both preclinical screening studies and clinical treatment design. To build models, data need be generated through experiments used as input train models. In this study, we investigate various active learning strategies selecting generate purposes (1) improving performance models built on (2) identifying effective treatments....

Abstract Anti-cancer drug response prediction is of paramount importance to development and patient treatment design. However, publicly available screening datasets on cell lines patient-derived organoids or xenografts contain highly unbalanced information with most experiments corresponding non-responsive tumor combinations. While previous research explored augmenting gene expression for cancer type classification, we target a more challenging problem - guided generation the responder...

Every year more than 5.4 million new cases of skin cancer are reported in the US. Melanoma is most lethal type with only 5% occurrence rate, but accounts for over 75% all deaths. Non-melanoma cancer, especially basal cell carcinoma (BCC) commonly occurring and often curable that affects 3 people causes about 2000 deaths US annually. The current diagnosis involves visual inspection, followed by biopsy lesions. major drawbacks this practice include difficulty border detection causing...

There is no clinical tool available to primary care physicians or dermatologists that could provide objective identification of suspicious skin cancer lesions. Multispectral autofluorescence lifetime imaging (maFLIM) dermoscopy enables label-free biochemical and metabolic This study investigated the use pixel-level maFLIM features for discrimination malignant from visually similar benign pigmented Clinical images were acquired 60 lesions before undergoing a biopsy examination. Random forest...

Cancer is a heterogeneous disease in that tumors of the same histology type can respond differently to treatment. Anti-cancer drug response prediction paramount importance for both development and patient treatment design. Although various computational methods data have been used develop models, it remains challenging problem due complexities cancer mechanisms cancer-drug interactions. To better characterize interaction between drugs, we investigate feasibility integrating computationally...

This work studies a particular setting for regression problems – tasks with complex combinatorial data space where samples can be divided into distinct groups. Anti-cancer drug response prediction is perfect example of this setting, in which each sample includes cancer biological features and chemical information. Many existing works pan-drug pan-cancer modeling treat different combinations drugs cancers as individual samples. A potential problem these that model may heavily influenced...

Human cancers present a significant public health challenge and require the discovery of novel drugs through translational research. Transcriptomics profiling data that describes molecular activities in tumors cancer cell lines are widely utilized for predicting anti-cancer drug responses. However, existing AI models face challenges due to noise transcriptomics lack biological interpretability. To overcome these limitations, we introduce VETE (Variational Explanatory Encoder), neural network...

Abstract Predictive modeling holds great promise for improving personalized cancer treatment and efficiency of drug development. In recent years, deep learning (DL) has been extensively explored response prediction (DRP), outperforming classical machine in generalization to new data. Despite the considerable interest DRP, no agreed-upon methodology evaluating comparing diverse DL models yet exists. Existing papers generally demonstrate performance proposed using cross-validation within a...
