Mechanistic modelling of tumor kinetics coupled with biomarker dynamics for survival prediction in non-small cell lung cancer patients

Thursday 16 October, 2025

Objectives:   Simple blood markers derived from routine hematology or biochemistry  have been reported to be prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) in cancer patients [1,2]. However, most studies only use baseline (BSL) values. The only longitudinal biomarker that has been extensively used and modeled to date is tumor size kinetics…
