## What is Cancer Crusade?

You are a doctor from the future. With your Treatment Simulator, you can fight back against even the roughest cancer invasions. Design a custom treatment schedule for each virtual patient. The treatment schedules you design will be sent to researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center to help discover new strategies. Good luck, doctor!

Cancer is a complex disease. Tumor cells are often able to evolve resistance and keep growing even when patients are given a variety of treatments. A predictive mathematical model is the core engine of this simulator and allows us to explore how to adjust treatment strategies to win against cancer in the long run. After being taught how to use the different therapies and progressing through levels that test your knowledge, you will treat randomized virtual patients with different traits to help us learn more about how to design treatment schedules to combat cancer resistance in real-life patients. In Cancer Crusade you will…

•	Learn about real-life cancer treatment strategies
•	Move back and forth in time to discover the best treatment plan
•	Use different scans to learn more about the tumor cells and find weak points
•	Improve patient quality of life by balancing treatment doses to be effective but not too toxic

### 5/5 — Needs update

*2025-12-05*

The game is great but I wish it had more treatment options like radiation therapy or a randomized immune therapy option

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!!

*2020-12-04*

Good job Raff! Very fun game!

### 3/5 — Great idea, but may need fixes for iphone x

*2019-01-03*

The game idea is great, and it's a way to learn a little about this world of how cancer can be fought. The general implementation is good, too up until level 5 of the tutorial where it wants me to click on the speed up button but I can't on iPhone x where I just see an empty box that isn't tappable. I also see text cutoff issues as well in earlier levels.

I imagine other iPhone or iPad versions may be able to play it just fine; if these issues are fixed for X I'd be happy to continue playing!

### 5/5 — Very Interesting game

*2018-05-10*

You can learn about different cancer treatments and then try your hand at using them to treat different cancers. Challenging.

### 5/5 — Treat virtual tumors and help cancer research!

*2018-05-09*

Science based cancer simulation game that explains how treatment resistance happens and how to stop it! Cool visuals show a growing tumor that grows and dies as you treat it. Best of all data gathered in the game could drive real cancer treatments!
