Summary Introduction
To analyze:
That cancer cell treated with standard therapy population grows more quickly or the population treated with adaptive therapy on cancer cells.
Introduction:
The idea of natural selection is a key component of Darwin's theory of evolution. Natural selection is a process in which the environment itself chooses particular physical characteristics, or
