An elementary approach to modeling drug resistance in cancer

Resistance to drugs has been an ongoing obstacle to a successfultreatment of many diseases. In this work we consider the problem ofdrug resistance in cancer, focusing on random genetic point mutations.Most previous works on mathematical models of such drug resistancehave been based on stochastic me...
