Application of Evolutionary Principles to Cancer Therapy.
The dynamic cancer ecosystem, with its rich temporal and spatial diversity in environmental conditions and heritable cell phenotypes, is remarkably robust to therapeutic perturbations. Even when response to therapy is clinically complete, adaptive tumor strategies almost inevitably emerge and the tumor returns. Although evolution of resistance remains the proximate cause of death in most cancer...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
A Maximum Feasible Subset Algorithm with Application to Radiation Therapy
Consider a set of linear one sided or two sided inequality constraints on a real vector X . The problem of interest is selection of X so as to maximize the number of constraints that are simultaneously satisfied, or equivalently, combinatorial selection of a maximum cardinality subset of feasible inequalities. Special classes of this problem are of interest in a variety of areas such as pattern...
متن کاملBrachytherapy optimal planning with application to intravascular radiation therapy
We have been studying brachytherapy planning with the objective of minimizing the maximum deviation of the delivered dose from prescribed dose bounds for treatment volumes. A general framework for optimal treatment planning is presented and the minmax optimization is formulated as a linear program. Dose rate calculations are based on the dosimetry formulation of the American Association of Phys...
متن کاملEstimation for paired binomial data with application to radiation therapy.
We compare and contrast several different methods for estimating the effect of treatment when responses are paired binomial observations. The ratio of binomial probabilities is the parameter of interest, while the binomial probabilities are nuisance parameters which may vary between pairs. The application is a meta-analysis of the treatment of rectal cancer, with observations in each study indi...
