Evolution of resistance is a common cause of cancer treatment failure and tumor progression. Here, the authors present a method for integrating evolutionary principles based on adaptive therapy into abiraterone therapy for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer and show the positive results of an interim analysis of a trial cohort.
