FULL NAME
Artificial Intelligence Agents in Cancer Research and Oncology - A Review
DESCRIPTION
A comprehensive review from Nature Reviews Cancer examining how AI agents (beyond traditional ML classifiers) are transforming cancer research and oncology. Covers LLM-powered agents for clinical decision support, drug discovery, treatment planning, and patient care, including agentic systems capable of logical reasoning, multi-step planning, and tool use in oncology contexts.

ABSTRACT
Since 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) methods have progressed far beyond their established capabilities of data classification and prediction. Large language models (LLMs) can perform logical reasoning, multi-step planning, and tool use, enabling a new paradigm of AI agents for cancer research and oncology. This review examines how AI agents are transforming clinical decision support, drug discovery, treatment planning, and patient care in oncology.

DL for PRS Survey (DL PRS Survey)
PUBMED_LINK
FULL NAME
A Survey on Deep Learning for Polygenic Risk Scores
DESCRIPTION
A comprehensive survey of deep learning approaches for polygenic risk scores (PRS). Reviews how neural networks can model non-linear relationships between genetic variants and disease risk, going beyond traditional linear PRS methods, and assesses their performance across different traits and architectures. Published in Briefings in Bioinformatics.
TITLE
A survey on deep learning for polygenic risk scores.
ABSTRACT
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) combine the effects of multiple genetic variants to predict an individual's genetic predisposition to a disease. PRS typically rely on linear models, which assume that all genetic variants act independently. There is growing interest in applying deep learning neural networks to model PRS given their ability to model non-linear relationships. We conducted a survey of the literature to investigate how neural networks are being applied to PRS.
