Parameter estimation and mathematical modeling for the quantitative description of therapy failure due to drug resistance in gastrointestinal stromal tumor metastasis to the liver.

In this work we develop a general mathematical model and devise a practical identifiability approach for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) metastasis to the liver, with the aim of quantitatively describing therapy failure due to drug resistance. To this end, we have modeled metastatic growth and...
