Flu vaccines are chosen by predicting which virus strains will dominate next season. The same forecasting maths could predict which resistance mutation a patient's tumour will develop next.
Evolutionary forecasting methods from influenza and bacterial resistance estimate the fitness of circulating variants from their frequency trajectories. Applied to longitudinal ctDNA and to population-level databases of resistance under each drug, they could give per-patient probabilities of specific next-step mechanisms. Forecasts would be scored prospectively, as in weather forecasting, to build calibrated models.
