• Abstract: The aim is to create a method for accurately estimating the duration of post-cancer treatment, particularly focused on chemotherapy, to optimize patient care and recovery. This initiative seeks to improve the effectiveness of cancer treatment, emphasizing the significance of each patient's journey and well-being. Our focus is to provide patients with valuable insight into their treatment timeline because we deeply believe that every life matters. We combined medical expertise with smart technology to create a model that accurately predicted each patient's treatment timeline. By using machine learning, we personalized predictions based on individual patient details which were collected from a regional government hospital named Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College & Hospital, Sylhet, Bangladesh, improving cancer care effectively. We tackled the challenge by employing around 13 machine learning algorithms and analyzing 15 distinct features, including LR, SVM, DT, RF, etc. we obtained a refined precision in predicting cancer patient's treatment durations. Furthermore, we utilized ensemble techniques to reinforce the accuracy of our methods. Notably, our study revealed that our majority voting ensemble classifier displayed exceptional performance, achieving 77% accuracy, with LightGBM and Random Forest closely following at approximately 76% accuracy. Our research unveiled the inherent complexities of cancer datasets, as seen in the Decision Tree's 59% accuracy. This emphasizes the need for improved algorithms to better predict outcomes and enhance patient care. Our comparison with other methods confirmed our promising accuracy rates, showing the potential impact of our approach in improving cancer treatment strategies. This study marks a significant step forward in optimizing post-cancer treatment prognosis using machine learning and ensemble techniques.

  personalized cancer treatment with machine learning holds great promise to improve cancer patients' chance of survival. Despite recent advances in machine learning and precision oncology, this approach remains challenging. We formulate drug screening study as a "contextual bandit" problem, in which an algorithm selects anticancer therapeutics based on contextual information about cancer cell lines. We propose using a novel deep Bayesian bandits framework that uses functional prior to approximate posterior for drug response prediction based on multi-modal information consisting of genomic features and drug structure.
