Sentence examples for sensitivity shift from inspiring English sources

A second subset of patients objectively identified by the model was characterized by a sensitivity shift, tumours becoming more drug-sensitive after the first cycle or even later.

Level III included a sensitivity shift after some chemotherapy cycles (parameters Sp, Sq, Sp2, Sq2, describing the fractions of surviving cells respectively in the first and second period).
