摘要
In this paper we develop a mathematical framework for describing multidrug resistance in cancer. To reflect the complexity of the underlying interplay between cancer cells and the therapeutic agent, we assume that the resistance level is a continuous parameter. Our model is written as a system of integro-differential equations that are parameterized by the resistance level. This model incorporates the cell density and mutation dependence. Analysis and simulations of the model demonstrate how the dynamics evolves to a selection of one or more traits corresponding to different levels of resistance. The emerging limit distribution with nonzero variance is the desirable modeling outcome as it represents tumor heterogeneity.
