4 PubMed Results Over the Last 10 Years A Long History ?
5 Ideas to OR in Medicine 1. Optimization can improve medical decision making 2. Medicine can improve optimization 3. There are many unaddressed opportunities for future impact
6 A Long History
7 Example 1: Radiation Treatment External beam radiation is passed through the body harming cancerous and healthy tissue Objective: minimize damage to healthy tissue while delivering required dose to cancer tissue Bahr et al, 1968, The Method of Linear Programming Applied to Radiation Treatment Planning, Radiology, 91,
8 Example: Radiation Treatment Radiation is delivered via a rotating gantry with a multi-leaf collimator Rotating Gantry Multileaf Collimator
9 2-Beam Problem Treatment Brain Cancer: 2-Beam Example Beam 1 Beam 2 1. Tumor 2. Spine 3. Brain Adapted from Optimization in Operations Research, Ron Rardin
10 Linear Program Decision Variables: Exposure times for beams 1 and 2 (x 1, x 2 ) Area Dose Absorbed per millisecond Beam 1 Dose Beam 2 Dose Restriction on Dosage in Kilorads Brain 0.4 x x 2 Minimize Spine 0.3 x x Tumor 0.5 x x 2 6 Center of tumor = 0.6 x x 2 6
11 Linear Program Min σ l L G l (z) Subject to: z j = D kj x k, for all j in V k K x k 0, k K, z j 0, j V z j : the dose delivered to voxel j V x k : the duration of beam k K Romeijn & Dempsey. (2008). Intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment optimization. TOP, 16(2), 215.
12 Extensions Integrated optimization of aperture design and beam intensities: Predefined number of beams Each beam is decomposed into a rectangular grid with m rows and n columns to create an intensity matrix For each row there are 1 n n combinations of left and 2 right leaf settings 1 2 n n m apertures Column generation method: Start with a restricted set of apertures, price out new apertures (columns) via decomposition algorithms Romeijn, E., Ahuja, R., Dempsey, J.F., Kumar, A "A column generation approach to radiation therapy treatment planning using aperture modulation." SIAM Journal on Optimization 15(3);
13 Improvements in Radiation Therapy Path from Research to Implementation Integer programming Convex approximations Inverse Optimization Stochastic and Robust Optimization Vendor Software for Radiologists Linear programming Advances in Mathematical Programming
14 Example 2: Kidney Disease Principal treatment options: Dialysis (home or clinic) Transplant (live or deceased donor) More than 350,000 people are on dialysis and 80,000 waiting for transplant
15 Nonlinear Optimization Miller, J.H. et al Optimization of Certain Parameters in Hemodialysis, Transactions - American Society for Artificial Internal Organs, 6(1); Optimal time to change bath Optimal time to change bath
16 Optimization of Kidney Transplants Kidney Exchange Donors X X Recipients
17 Paired Matching Segev, D, Gentry, S.E., Warren, D.S, Reeb, Montgomery, RA, 2005, Kidney Paired Donation and Optimizing the Use of Live Donor Organs, JAMA, 293(15),
18 Criteria Criteria for Donation Number of matches Number of priority matches Immunologic concordance Travel requirements
19 Example: Constraints Cross-matching Compatibility is determined by two primary factors: Blood type Tissue antibodies Blood type compatibility Donor O A B AB Recipient O A B AB
20 Matching Problems Given a graph G(V, E) a matching is a set of pairwise nonadjacent edges. w 1 w 2 w 3 w 4 w 6 w 5 w 2 w 6 w 1 w 3 w 6 2 matches 3 matches A maximal edge-weight matching is a set of nonadjacent edges with maximum total weight among all matches.
21 Maximum Edge Weight Matching A matching problem for a graph G V, E can be expressed as an integer program Max σ e E w e x e Subject to: σ e v x e 1, for all v V x e {0,1}, for all e E Edmonds, J "Paths, trees, and flowers," Canadian J. Math. 17:
22 Properties of Matching Graphs Analysis of factors that influence vertex and edge weights In a vertex weighted graph with positive weights any matching with maximum vertex weight has maximum cardinality In a matching with maximum edge weight could have half as many edges as a maximum cardinality matching The ratio can be bounded by controlling : max i Connections to multi-criteria problems: Weighted objectives Bi-level optimization w i min i w i Gentry, S., Michael, T.S., Segev, D. Maximum Matching in Graphs for Allocating Kidney Paired Donation, Working Paper
23 Impact Rapid growth of paired donation Year From 1 in 1999, to nearly 600 in 2013, KPD now comprises 10% of living kidney donations ** *Figure courtesy of Sommer Gentry, US Naval Academy;
24 Example 3: Diabetes 29 million people have diabetes in the U.S. 9% of the U.S. population 90% have type 2 diabetes Health complications include micro and macrovascular events Medication can control major risk factors like blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure.

32 Recent Work: Robust MDPs All models are subject to uncertainty in model parameter estimates and model assumptions Transition probabilities are based on statistical estimates from longitudinal data Rewards are based on estimates of mean patient utility, cost, or other performance measures Robust MDPs (RMDPs) attempt to account for this uncertainty Delage, E., Iancu, D Robust Multistage Decision Making. INFORMS Tutorials in Operations Research
33 Robust MDPs Goal of a standard finite horizon MDP is to find π with respect to a fixed Markov chain with TPM, P: π = argmax π Π N 1 E P [ r t s t, π(s t ) + r N s N ] t=1 An RMDP can be viewed as a sequential game against an adversary: π = argmax π Π N 1 min P U EP [ t=1 r t s t, π(s t ) + r N s N ]
34 Time Varying Model This problem is easy when the rectangularity assumption is made: U = s t S U(s t ) Under this assumption the optimality equations are: v t s t = max a t A r t s t, a t + max p s t U(s t ) λ s t+1 S p(s t+1 s t, a t ) v t+1 s t+1 Where p(s t ) is the row of the TPM corresponding to state s t and U(s t ) is the row s uncertainty set.
35 RMDP Case Study: Type 2 Diabetes Many medications that vary in efficacy, side effects and cost. Oral Medications: Metformin Sulfonylurea DPP-4 Inhibitors Injectable Medications: Insulin GLP-1 Agonists Zhang, Y., Steimle, L.N., Denton, B.T., Robust Markov Decision Processes for Medical Treatment Decisions, Working Paper, available at Optimization Online.
36 Treatment Goals HbA1C is an important biomarker for blood sugar control But disagreement exists about the optimal goals of treatment and which medications to use
