Classification of Circulating Tumor Cells Using Machine Learning on Microfluidic Trajectory Data
摘要
This paper explores the application of machine learning techniques to classify circulating tumor cells (CTCs) based on their trajectories within a hyperuniform micropost microfluidic device. Leveraging cell-based modeling, we generated a synthetic dataset simulating the dynamics of CTCs in blood flow. Three machine learning architectures were applied to analyze the trajectory data: a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a hybrid model combining CNNs with long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. These models achieved an average classification accuracy of 80% in distinguishing between different CTC phenotypes, highlighting the potential of this approach for early cancer detection.
