Thus, evolutionary therapy suggests that treatment of such highly dynamic evolving diseases should be changing over time to account for changes in disease populations. [4] Adaptive treatment strategies typically cycle between different drugs or drug doses to take advantage of predictable patterns of disease evolution.
