In this model, we are attempting to model:
- The selection of less aggressive phenotype
- Eventual elimination of cancerous cell through rapid changing environment towards the end of the treatment
- Combination therapy
We can use this model both to generate hypothesis, predict the progression of a modified adaptive therapy as well as get the most recent clinical research to healthcare professional as quickly and as easily as possible. Moreover, we can use this model to provide information for patient that is easily understandable and applicable to their situation. Higher level of understanding will lead to better psychological health and possibly better outcome for the patient.
An initial model of the cancerous cell system (with 2 different cell types) will be created using COBWEB.
