CT chest scans are commonly performed worldwide, either in routine clinical practice for a wide range of indications or as part of lung cancer screening programs. Many of these scans detect lung nodules, which are small, rounded opacities measuring 8-30 mm. While the concern about nodules is that they may represent early lung cancer, in screening programs, only 1% of such nodules turn out to be cancer.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrotic disease driven by both environmental and genetic factors. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression or cellular phenotype that do not involve alterations to DNA sequence. KMT2A is a member of the SET family which catalyses H3K4 methylation.

Background: Although the carcinogenic potential of microbes has long been recognized, their significance may have been underestimated. Currently, the connection between microbiota and cancer is under extensive research. The lung microbiota may serve as a proxy for the state of lung health based on its crucial role in preserving lung hemostasis.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) affects 10-50% of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that radically changes the outcome of patients with tumors bearing EGFR sensitizing or EGFR T790M resistance mutations. However, resistance usually occurs, and new therapeutic combinations need to be explored.

Background: Proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) treatment planning for head and neck (H&N) cancers is a time-consuming and experience-demanding task where a large number of potentially conflicting planning objectives are involved. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has recently been introduced to the planning processes of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy for prostate, lung, and cervical cancers. However, existing DRL planning models are built upon the Q-learning framework and rely on weighted linear combinations of clinical metrics for reward calculation.
