Conventional high dose therapy (top) maximally selects for resistant phenotypes (pink). Adaptive therapy (bottom) maintains a small population of cells that are sensitive to treatment. While the resistant cells survive, the cost of resistance renders them less fit in the absence of therapy. Thus, sensitive cells return when therapy is removed, suppressing growth of the resistant population.
