Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones in response to chemical signals secreted by, for example, a wound or a tumour. In this paper, we propose a mesoscopic lattice-based model of angiogenesis, in which…
As cancer advances, cells often spread from the primary tumor to other parts of the body and form metastases. This is the main cause of cancer related mortality. Here we investigate a conceptually simple model of metastasis formation where…
At the continuous level, we consider two types of tumor growth models: the cell density model, which is based on the fluid mechanical construction, is more favorable for scientific interpretation and numerical simulations; and the free…
We consider a phase-field model of prostate cancer growth with chemotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy effects which is introduced in [2]. It is comprised of phase-field equation to describe tumor growth, which is coupled to a…
We introduce a superstatistical model for the progression statistics of malignant cancer cells. The metastatic cascade is modeled as a complex nonequilibrium system with several macroscopic pathways and inverse-chi-square distributed…
In this work, we present a coupled 3D-1D model of solid tumor growth within a dynamically changing vascular network to facilitate realistic simulations of angiogenesis. Additionally, the model includes erosion of the extracellular matrix,…
In this paper, we develop a sharp interface tumor growth model to study the effect of the tumor microenvironment using a complex far-field geometry that mimics a heterogeneous distribution of vasculature. Together with different nutrient…
Heterogeneity within tumour cell populations is associated with an increase in malignancy and appears to play an important role during cancer metastasis. Using in silico experiments, we study the interplay between collective behaviours and…
Metastatic tumors often invade healthy neighboring tissues by forming multicellular finger-like protrusions emerging from the cancer mass. To understand the mechanical context behind this phenomenon, we here develop a minimalist fluid model…
A mathematical model for time development of metastases and their distribution in size and carrying capacity is presented. The model is used to theoretically investigate anti-cancer therapies such as surgery and chemical treatments…
In this paper we present a study of local dynamics of the growth of cancer tumor and healthy cells considering the presence of nutrients in the system. We also analyze the evolution of system if we take indirectly into account the level of…
Unstable dynamics characterizes the evolution of most solid tumors. Because of an increased failure of maintaining genome integrity, a cumulative increase in the levels of gene mutation and loss is observed. Previous work suggests that…
We examine a lattice model of tumor growth where survival of tumor cells depends on the supplied nutrients. When such a supply is random, the extinction of tumors belongs to the directed percolation universality class. However, when the…
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…
Various models of tumor growth are available in the litterature. A first class describes the evolution of the cell number density when considered as a continuous visco-elastic material with growth. A second class, describes the tumor as a…
We investigate the dynamics of a nonlinear model for tumor growth within a cellular medium. In this setting the "tumor" is viewed as a multiphase flow consisting of cancerous cells in either proliferating phase or quiescent phase and a…
In this paper, we consider a free boundary problem modeling the growth of spherically symmetric necrotic tumors with angiogenesis and a $\omega$-periodic supply $\phi(t)$ of external nutrients. In the model, the consumption rate of the…
Models of tissue growth are now well established, in particular in relation to their applications to cancer. They describe the dynamics of cells subject to motion resulting from a pressure gradient generated by the death and birth of cells,…
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…
The acid-mediated tumor invasion hypothesis proposes that altered glucose metabolism exhibited by the vast majority of tumors leads to increased acid (H+ ion) production which subsequently facilitates tumor invasion [1-3]. The…
