Description
Summary:Accurate prediction of long-term outcomes remains a challenge in the care of cancer patients. Due to the difficulty of serial tumor sampling, previous prediction tools have focused on pretreatment factors. However, emerging non-invasive diagnostics have increased opportunities for serial tumor assessments. We describe the Continuous Individualized Risk Index (CIRI), a method to dynamically determine outcome probabilities for individual patients utilizing risk predictors acquired over time. Similar to “win probability” models in other fields, CIRI provides a real-time probability by integrating risk assessments throughout a patient’s course. Applying CIRI to patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, we demonstrate improved outcome prediction compared to conventional risk models. We demonstrate CIRI’s broader utility in analogous models of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and breast adenocarcinoma and perform a proof-of-concept analysis demonstrating how CIRI could be used to develop predictive biomarkers for therapy selection. We envision that dynamic risk assessment will facilitate personalized medicine and enable innovative therapeutic paradigms. [Display omitted] •Current cancer biomarkers are obtained throughout a disease or treatment course•Prognostic biomarkers can be integrated over time similar to “win probability” models•Dynamic risk profiling produces a personal risk model and outperforms traditional methods•Dynamic risk profiling can potentially inform personalized therapy selection A framework for the integration of cancer-patient biomarker data over time improves prognostic accuracy and could inform personalized therapy selection.
