Cancer algorithm uses game theory to Double Survival time
Using algorithms to monitor cancer evolution and apply game theory to their treatment has doubled the survival time of men with advanced prostate cancer By Andy Coghlan in NewScientist
Approaching cancer treatment as a game has doubled the survival time of men with advanced prostate cancer. This achievement could mark the start of using game theory to target a range of cancers more cleverly.
“This approach is elegant and exciting, and shows real promise to delay treatment failure,” says Charles Swanton at the Francis Crick Institute in London.
People with cancer aren’t usually killed by their initial tumour, but by the rapidly evolving secondary tumours that occur once the disease … "
