contents Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, necessitating personalized treatment approaches to improve outcomes. Theranostics, combining molecular-level imaging with targeted therapy, offers potential for precision oncology but requires optimized, patient-specific care plans. This paper investigates state-of-the-art data-driven decision support applications with a reinforcement learning focus in precision oncology. We review current applications, training environments, state-space representation, performance evaluation criteria, and measurement of risk and reward, highlighting key challenges. We propose a framework integrating data-driven modeling with reinforcement learning-based decision support to optimize radiopharmaceutical therapy dosing, addressing identified challenges and setting directions for future research. The framework leverages Neural Ordinary Differential Equations and Physics-Informed Neural Networks to enhance Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic models while applying reinforcement learning algorithms to iteratively refine treatment policies based on patient-specific data.
