Researchers have developed a recurrent deep reinforcement learning approach to optimize chemotherapy dosing under conditions where a patient's full state is not observable. By using memory-augmented policies with LSTM actor-critic networks, the method demonstrated improved tumor suppression and better preservation of normal cells compared to standard feed-forward methods when dealing with incomplete or noisy patient information. This work highlights the benefit of memory-based policies in clinical settings where state observability is limited. AI
