Cancer Crusade

Cancer Crusade

You are a doctor from the future. With your Treatment Simulator, you can fight back against even the roughest cancer invasions. Design a custom treatment schedule for each virtual patient. The treatment schedules you design will be sent to researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center to help discover new strategies. Good luck, doctor!

Cancer is a complex disease. Tumor cells are often able to evolve resistance and keep growing even when patients are given a variety of treatments. A predictive mathematical model is the core engine of this simulator and allows us to explore how to adjust treatment strategies to win against cancer in the long run. After being taught how to use the different therapies and progressing through levels that test your knowledge, you will treat randomized virtual patients with different traits to help us learn more about how to design treatment schedules to combat cancer resistance in real-life patients. In Cancer Crusade you will…

• Learn about real-life cancer treatment strategies

• Move back and forth in time to discover the best treatment plan

• Use different scans to learn more about the tumor cells and find weak points

• Improve patient quality of life by balancing treatment doses to be effective but not too toxic
