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.

•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. |
