Drug resistance in cancer: Principles of emergence and prevention
24 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Although targeted therapy is yielding promising results in the treatment of specific cancers, drug resistance poses a problem. We develop a mathematical framework that can be used to study the principles underlying the emergence and prevention of resistance in cancers treated with targeted small-molecule drugs. We consider a stochastic dynamical system based on measurable parameters, such as the turnover rate of...
