Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: matplotlib 3.8+, numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+, scipy 1.12+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Longitudinal Monitoring

"Track ctDNA levels over my patient's treatment" → Monitor tumor fraction and mutation dynamics across serial liquid biopsy timepoints for treatment response assessment and early relapse detection.

  • Python: pandas + matplotlib for trend analysis and molecular response classification

Track ctDNA dynamics over treatment for response assessment and relapse detection.

Key Metrics

Metric Description Clinical Relevance
Tumor fraction trend Change over time Response/progression
Mutation clearance Time to undetectable Depth of response
Molecular relapse ctDNA rise Early relapse detection
Lead time ctDNA vs imaging Months before clinical

Clinical Integration

Goal: Generate a structured monitoring report combining tumor fraction dynamics, mutation clearance status, and molecular response classification for clinical decision support.

Approach: Aggregate tumor fraction trend analysis, mutation tracking pivot tables, and response criteria into a single report dictionary with standardized molecular response categories.

python
def generate_monitoring_report(patient_id, tf_data, mutation_data, imaging_data=None):
    '''
    Generate clinical monitoring report.
    '''
    report = {
        'patient_id': patient_id,
        'analysis_date': pd.Timestamp.now()
    }

    # Tumor fraction analysis
    tf_data, tf_metrics = analyze_tf_dynamics(tf_data)
    report['tumor_fraction'] = tf_metrics

    # Mutation analysis
    mutation_pivot, cleared = track_mutations(mutation_data)
    report['mutations_tracked'] = len(mutation_pivot.columns) - 1
    report['mutations_cleared'] = len(cleared)

    # Response assessment
    current_tf = tf_data.iloc[-1]['tumor_fraction']
    baseline_tf = tf_data.iloc[0]['tumor_fraction']

    if current_tf < 0.001:
        report['response'] = 'Complete molecular response'
    elif current_tf < baseline_tf * 0.01:
        report['response'] = 'Major molecular response (>2 log)'
    elif current_tf < baseline_tf * 0.5:
        report['response'] = 'Partial molecular response'
    else:
        report['response'] = 'Stable/Progressive'

    return report
