We investigate a partial differential equation model of a cancer cell population, which is structured with respect to age and telomere length of cells. We assume a continuous telomere length structure, which is applicable to the clonal…
In this manuscript, we study a nonlinear model of tumor growth, described by a coupled hyperbolic-elliptic system of partial differential equations. In this model, the compressible flow of tumor cells is modeled by a transport equation for…
We present a model for the interaction dynamics of lymphocytes-tumor cells population. This model reproduces all known states for the tumor. Futherly,we develop it taking into account periodical immunotheraphy treatment with cytokines…
We propose a mathematical model for the growth and treatment dynamics of Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS) based on a system of nonlinear differential equations. The model integrates Gompertz-type tumor growth with surface-area…
Forecasting tumor growth is critical for optimizing treatment. Classical growth models such as the Gompertz and Bertalanffy equations capture general tumor dynamics but may fail to adapt to patient-specific variability, particularly with…
We deal with a small enough tumor section to consider it homogeneous, such that populations of lymphocytes and cancer cells are independent of spatial coordinates. A stochastic model based in one step processes is developed to take into…
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…
Tumor recurrence, driven by the evolution of drug resistance is a major barrier to therapeutic success in cancer. Resistance is often caused by genetic alterations such as point mutation, which refers to the modification of a single genomic…
In cancer, treatment failure and disease recurrence have been associated with small subpopulations of cancer cells with a stem-like phenotype. In this paper, we develop and investigate a phenotype-structured model of solid tumour growth in…
In this paper, we study the tumor growth equation along with various models for the nutrient component, including the \emph{in vitro} model and the \emph{in vivo} model. At the cell density level, the spatial availability of the tumor…
In this paper, we use the Bayesian inversion approach to study the data assimilation problem for a family of tumor growth models described by porous-medium type equations. The models contain uncertain parameters and are indexed by a…
We consider a one--spatial dimensional tumour growth model [2, 3, 4] that consists of three dependent variables of space and time: volume fraction of tumour cells, velocity of tumour cells, and nutrient concentration. The model variables…
Mechanical models for tumor growth have been used extensively in recent years for the analysis of medical observations and for the prediction of cancer evolution based on imaging analysis. This work deals with the numerical approximation of…
Cancer cell mutations occur when cells undergo multiple cell divisions, and these mutations can be spontaneous or environmentally-induced. The mechanisms that promote and sustain these mutations are still not fully understood. This study…
We introduce here a new diffuse interface thermodynamically consistent non-isothermal model for tumor growth in presence of a nutrient in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$. In particular our system describes the growth of a tumor…
In this work, we present and analyze a system of PDEs, which models tumor growth by considering chemotaxis, active transport, and random effects. The stochasticity of the system is modelled by random initial data and Wiener noises that…
Background: Radiotherapy outcomes are usually predicted using the Linear Quadratic model. However, this model does not integrate complex features of tumor growth, in particular cell cycle regulation. Methods: In this paper, we propose a…
The availability of cancer measurements over time enables the personalised assessment of tumour growth and therapeutic response dynamics. However, many tumours are treated after diagnosis without collecting longitudinal data, and cancer…
Recently, we have proposed a nutrient-limited model for the avascular growth of tumors including cell proliferation, motility and death \cite{jr}, that, qualitatively reproduces commonly observed morphologies for carcinomas {\it in situ}.…
