Quantitative predictions of neoadjuvant chemotherapy effects in breast cancer by individual patient data assimililation [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been used for breast cancer aiming at downgrading before surgery. In this article we propose a new quantitative analysis of the effects of the neoadjuvant therapy to obtain numerical, personalized, predictions on the shrinkage of the tumor size after the drug doses, by data assimilation of the individual patient.
