Abstract
Tumor evolution drives tumor progression, therapeutic resistance, and metastasis. Therefore, new predictive medicine strategies that adapt with a tumor are needed to improve patient outcomes. The techniques used in weather prediction are mathematically proven to enable prediction of evolving systems, and thus provide a framework for a new predictive medicine paradigm for cancer.
