Abstract:

Cancer develops as result of evolution and targeting cancer evolution may be a promising cancer therapeutics. Cancer adaptive therapy is defined as targeting cancer evolution through selective adaption and co-evolution. Adaptive therapy of human cancers provides new insight into the strategies for adaption and integration through reprogramming the functions of vessel, immune, metabolism, microbiota and circadian clock, and facilitating hosts and their cancers evolution as a unit.

Key words: Neoplasms, Therapeutics, Clonal evolution
