Harnessing Non-invasive Imaging and Modeling towards Early Detection of Tumor Resistance to Targeted Therapy

Clinical imaging and biopsies are major tools for cancer diagnosis. We explore whether serial imaging coupled with a mathematical model could test and refine patient specific forecasts for therapy outcomes.<p> We first examine whether parameters for a basic mathematical tumor model can be extr...
