Robert Gatenby

Robert Gatenby, a radiologist and expert in cancer dynamics, shares his unique journey from physics to medicine. He introduces a revolutionary adaptive therapy for cancer that tailors treatment based on tumor evolution, enhancing patient survival while reducing drug use. Gatenby discusses the fascinating interplay of mathematical models and ecological systems to inform cancer treatment, drawing parallels between predator-prey dynamics and cancer cell behavior. His pilot trial on metastatic prostate cancer highlights the promise of novel, strategic therapeutic approaches in revolutionizing cancer care.
