Getting Cancer Wrong

“This story explores a new approach to treating cancer, whose proponents have come to “uneasy conclusion that cancer is smarter than we are, and will find ways to evade our finest medical weaponry.” Instead of trying kill cancer with the blunt tools of radiation and chemo, oncologists like Robert Gatenby are suggesting that we should be making mathematical models of each individual instance of cancer, and use those models to carefully arrest cancer’s progress.”
