Abstract excerpt
Targeted therapy is one of the promising strategies for the treatment of cancer. However, resistance to anticancer drug strongly limits the long-term effectiveness of treatment, which is a major obstacle for successfully treating cancer. In this paper, we analyze a linear system of ordinary differential equations for cancer multi-drug resistance induced mainly by random genetic point mutation. We investigate that...
