Wargaming cancer: a strategy for future precision oncology?

Author

  • David Gisselsson Nord
  • Tony Ingesson

Summary, in English

Development of drug resistance is a mounting problem in precision oncology, demanding a rethink of treatment strategy. We here apply concepts from military theory and espionage to the battle-like dynamics between cancer and its host, thereby identifying system vulnerabilities in cancer and ways of tricking cancer’s evolution into dead ends.
