• Abstract: Working towards the development of an evolvable cancer treatment simulator, the investigation of Differential Evolution was considered, motivated by the high efficiency of variations of this technique in real-valued problems. A basic DE algorithm, namely "DE/rand/1" was used to optimize the simulated design of a targeted drug delivery system for tumor treatment on PhysiCell simulator. The suggested approach proved to be more efficient than a standard genetic algorithm, which was not able to escape local minima after a predefined number of generations. The key attribute of DE that enables it to outperform standard EAs, is the fact that it keeps the diversity of the population high, throughout all the generations. This work will be incorporated with ongoing research in a more wide applicability platform that will design, develop and evaluate targeted drug delivery systems aiming cancer tumours.

  Radiotherapy a crucial cancer treatment demands precise planning to balance tumor preservation and eradication of healthy tissue. Traditional treatment planning (TP) is iterative, time-consuming, and reliant on human expertise. We propose a novel framework to transform a multimodal foundation model (MLM) into an action model for using a few-shot reinforcement learning approach.
