How optimal control of cellular cost shapes population-level tumor growth dynamics
Tumor progression is often modeled as a passive response to external therapy or immune pressure, but tumor populations may also exhibit population-level regulation of proliferation and apoptosis. We develop a continuous-time Markov decision framework in which a controlled birth--death process represents a tumor population modulating the balance between proliferation and susceptibility to…
