Tumor containment: a more general mathematical analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Clinical and pre-clinical data suggest that treating some tumors at a mild, patient-specific dose might delay resistance to treatment and increase survival time. A recent mathematical model with sensitive and resistant tumor cells identified conditions under which a treatment aiming at tumor containment rather than eradication is indeed optimal. This model however neglected mutations from sensitive to resistant...
