Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumour with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. This study presents a mathematical framework to investigate the efficacy of immunotherapy strategies based on cytotoxic…
We investigate the dynamics of a nonlinear system modeling tumor growth with drug application. The tumor is viewed as a mixture consisting of proliferating, quiescent and dead cells as well as a nutrient in the presence of a drug. The…
We propose here a multiscale model for study the effect of combined therapies on glioma spread in the brain under the influence of vascularization. The model accounts for the interplay between the different components of the neoplasm and…
We investigate the evolution of tumor growth relying on a nonlinear model of partial differential equations which incorporates mechanical laws for tissue compression combined with rules for nutrients availability and drug application.…
In this work, we focus on the analytical and numerical study of a mathematical model for brain tumors with radiotherapy influence. Under certain assumptions on the given data in the model, we prove existence and uniqueness of a weak…
In this paper we present a method for estimating unknown parameters that appear on an avascular, spheric tumour growth model. The model for the tumour is based on nutrient driven growth of a continuum of live cells, whose birth and death…
We present a novel formulation for the calibration of a biophysical tumor growth model from a single-time snapshot, MRI scan of a glioblastoma patient. Tumor growth models are typically nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations…
In this paper, we conduct a thorough mathematical analysis of a tumor growth model with treatments. The model is a system describing the evolution of metastatic tumors and the number of cells present in a primary tumor. The former evolution…
A novel numerical technique has been proposed to solve a two-phase tumour growth model in one spatial dimension without needing to account for the boundary dynamics explicitly. The equivalence to the standard definition of a weak solution…
Mathematical modelling of tumor growth is one of the most useful and inexpensive approaches to determine and predict the stage, size and progression of tumors in realistic geometries. Moreover, these models has been used to get an insight…
Brain tumours are masses of abnormal cells that can grow in an uncontrolled way in the brain. There are different types of malignant brain tumours. Gliomas are malignant brain tumours that grow from glial cells and are identified as…
Background: Gliomas are the most common brain tumors, which vary from low to high-grade. Despite the improvements in imaging techniques in the last decade, all parts of the tumor are not visible in these images, due to having a threshold of…
This research presents a mathematical model of glioma growth dynamics with drug resistance, capturing interactions among five cell populations: glial cells, sensitive glioma cells, resistant glioma cells, endothelial cells, and neuron…
Our objective is the calibration of mathematical tumor growth models from a single multiparametric scan. The target problem is the analysis of preoperative Glioblastoma (GBM) scans. To this end, we present a fully automatic tumor-growth…
Low grade gliomas (LGGs) are infiltrative and incurable primary brain tumours with typically slow evolution. These tumours usually occur in young and otherwise healthy patients, bringing controversies in treatment planning since aggressive…
In this paper, we study a nonlinearly coupled initial-boundary value problem describing the evolution of brain tumor growth including lactate metabolism. In our modeling approach, we also take into account the viscoelastic properties of the…
Cytotoxic chemotherapy is a common treatment for advanced prostate cancer. These tumors are also known to rely on angiogenesis, i.e., the growth of local microvasculature via chemical signaling produced by the tumor. Thus, several clinical…
Glioblastoma are known to infiltrate the brain parenchyma instead of forming a solid tumor mass with a defined boundary. Only the part of the tumor with high tumor cell density can be localized through imaging directly. In contrast, brain…
In this paper, we studied phase-space analysis of a certain mathematical model of tumor growth with an immune responses and chemotherapy therapy. Mathematical modelling of this process is viewed as a potentially powerful tool in the…
Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved brain tumour segmentation techniques; however, the results still lack confidence and robustness as they solely consider image data without biophysical priors or pathological…
