Abstract

Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are divided into three groups based on their response to Abiraterone treatment: best responder, responder, and non-responder. In the latter two groups, successful outcomes may not be achieved due to the development of drug-resistant cells in the tumor environment during treatment. To overcome this challenge, a secondary drug can be used to control the population of drug-resistant cells, potentially leading to a longer period of disease inhibition. This paper proposes using a combination of Docetaxel and Abiraterone in some polytherapy methods to control both the overall cancer cell population and the drug-resistant subpopulation. To investigate the competition and evolution of mCRPC cancer phenotypes, as in previous studies, the Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT) has been used as a mathematical modeling of evolutionary biology concepts.
