The use of ad-hoc engineered viruses in the fight against tumours is one of the greatest ideas in cancer therapeutics within the last three decades. Together with other strategies such as immunotherapies, nanoparticles and adjunct…
Oncolytic virotherapy is an experimental cancer treatment that uses genetically engineered viruses to target and kill cancer cells. One major limitation of this treatment is that virus particles are rapidly cleared by the immune system,…
One of the most promising strategies to treat cancer is attacking it with viruses designed to exploit specific altered pathways. Here, the effects of oncolytic virotherapy on tumors having compact, papillary and disconnected morphologies…
We develop and analyze a mathematical model of oncolytic virotherapy in the treatment of melanoma. We begin with a special, local case of the model, in which we consider the dynamics of the tumour cells in the presence of an oncolytic virus…
We continue our study of a model for cancer treatment, constructed in Dutta et. al., 2025, by adding Virotherapy to the Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy studied there. It is a dynamical system model for the spread of cancer in healthy tissue.…
We present multiscale models of cancer tumor invasion with components at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. We provide biological justifications for the model components, present computational results from the model, and discuss…
A model capturing the dynamics between virus and tumour cells in the context of oncolytic virotherapy is presented and analysed. The ability of the virus to be internalised by uninfected cells is described by an infectivity parameter, which…
The effectiveness of oncolytic virotherapy is significantly affected by several elements of the tumour microenvironment, which reduce the ability of the virus to infect cancer cells. In this work, we focus on the influence of hypoxia on…
In the present review, we describe three hot topics in cancer research such as circulating tumor cells, exosomes, and 3D environment models. The first section is dedicated to microfluidic platforms for detecting circulating tumor cells,…
Oncolytic virotherapy - the use of viruses that specifically kill tumor cells - is an innovative and highly promising route for treating cancer. However, its therapeutic outcomes are mainly impaired by the host immune response to the viral…
Quantifying the dynamics of tumor burden reveals useful information about cancer evolution concerning treatment effects and drug resistance, which play a crucial role in advancing model-informed drug developments (MIDD) towards personalized…
Cancer is a disease that takes millions of lives every year. Then, to propose treatments, avoid recurrence, and improve the patient's life quality, we need to analyze this disease from a biophysical perspective with a solid mathematical…
The combination of cytotoxic therapies and anti-angiogenic agents is emerging as a most promising strategy in the treatment of malignant tumors. However, the timing and sequencing of these treatments seem to play essential roles in…
In the field of modeling the dynamics of oncolytic viruses, researchers often face the challenge of using specialized mathematical terms to explain uncertain biological phenomena. This paper introduces a basic framework for an oncolytic…
Oncolytic viral therapy (OVT) is an emerging precision therapy for aggressive and recurrent cancers. However, its clinical efficacy is hindered by the complexity of tumor-virus-immune interactions and the lack of predictive models for…
This article presents the general framework of theranostic digital twins (TDTs) in computational nuclear medicine, designed to support clinical decision-making and improve cancer patient prognosis through personalized radiopharmaceutical…
We give a very short introduction to discrete and continuum models for the evolutionary and spatial dynamics of cancer through two case studies: a model for the evolutionary dynamics of cancer cells under cytotoxic therapy and a model for…
We investigate a new dynamical system that describes tumor-host interaction. The equation that describes the untreated tumor growth is based on non-extensive statistical mechanics. Recently, this model has been shown to fit successfully…
We present a mathematical model describing oncolytic virotherapy treatment of a tumour that proliferates according to a Gompertz growth function. We present local stability analysis and bifurcation plots for relevant model parameters to…
Radiation therapy is an effective and widely accepted form of treatment for many types of cancer that requires extensive computerized planning. Unfortunately, current treatment planning systems have limited or no visual aid that combines…
