Abstract:

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men. Abiraterone is commonly used in clinical treatment, but it often causes patients to evolve to drug resistance prostate cancer. In order to reveal the dynamic mechanism of prostate cancer development, this paper established a two-variable quantitative model of tumor evolution and introduced dose factors. By analyzing the dynamic properties of fixed and adaptive dosing treatment therapy and plotting the potential energy landscape figure, we revealed the advantages of adaptive dosing method from the perspective of dynamics and the mechanism that high doses of Abiraterone could lead to an irreversible state of drug resistant. In addition, the treatment score system was designed for the strategies, compared the two drug delivery methods and optimized the treatment strategies.

Key words: prostate cancer, Abiraterone, drug resistant, dynamic method, optimization strategy

摘要:

前列腺癌是男性常见的恶性肿瘤。临床上常用的干扰雄激素的治疗药物是阿比特龙, 但长期高剂量的阿比特龙治疗常导致患者前列腺肿瘤细胞进化至药物抵抗。为了揭示前列腺癌发展的动力学机制, 本文引入给药剂量因素, 建立二变量的肿瘤演化定量模型。通过分析固定给药和适应性给药策略的动力学性质, 并绘制势能景观图, 从动力学角度展示适应性给药策略的优势, 揭示高剂量药物导致体系演化为不可逆药物抵抗状态的动力学机理。此外还构建治疗策略的评分体系, 以便优化治疗策略。
