Cancer treatments are improving, but drug resistance remains one of the biggest challenges. See how Robert Gatenby, MD (@GatenbyLab)'s research uses evolutionary science and mathematical models to stay one step ahead of cancer.
New treatments have improved outcomes for people with cancer, but what happens if it comes back? Researchers seek to anticipate and prevent drug resistance to keep the disease at bay. brnw.ch/21x3Xc2 @elmayermd
