Title Game theory increases the chances of surviving metastatic cancer Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Universitas Media type Online Country/Territory Czech Republic Date 25/03/19 Description Not all cancer cells are the same. They can work together, but also against each other – which is one of the reasons why the principles of game theory can be used in cancer therapy, says mathematician Kateřina Staňková. To put these findings into practice, Staňková – who is a graduate of VSB – Technical University of Ostrava (VSB-TUO) and a researcher at Maastricht University, the Netherlands – works together with the Moffitt Cancer Center in Florida, which has the only department of integrated mathematical oncology in the world.

Title Using game theory to treat cancer Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet ABC News/Health Report Media type Radio Duration/Length/Size 60 min Country/Territory Australia Date 25/03/19 Description When cancer recurs after initial treatment or has already spread, the prognosis can be poor and a cure very hard to achieve.
That's because the cancer now harbours drug-resistant cells.
The approach of cancer specialists is usually to go hard with chemotherapy, using repeated courses, to try and obliterate the tumour — but the statistics show that for most cancers, that's eventually doomed to failure.
And the prognosis hasn't changed much in decades.
That's prompted some researchers to argue for a complete re-think oriented around the concept of game theory, which is about decision making in the face of an opponent of some kind.
