In this article, I present a novel and computational-efficient approach for treatment-response modeling of tumor progression-free survival (PFS) probability using the physical phenomenon of a quantum particle walking on a one-dimensional…

Some clinical and pre-clinical data suggests that treating some tumors at a mild, patient-specific dose might delay resistance to treatment and increase survival time. A recent mathematical model with sensitive and resistant tumor cells…

In this study, we conduct a study on magnetic hyperthermia treatment when a vessel is located near the tumor. The holistic framework is established to solve the process of tumor treatment. The interstitial tissue fluid, MNP distribution,…

Chemotherapy is one of the most important therapeutic options used to treat human cancers, either alone or in combination with radiation therapy and surgery. Recent studies have indicated that intra-tumoural heterogeneity has a significant…

Since decades, many techniques have been developed for curing cancer. Here, an effort has been made to cure tumor by inserting a cryoprobe into the target region which is connected to a cryogenic mechanism. This technique is presently used…

This paper primarily addresses a dataset relating to cellular, chemical and physical conditions of patients gathered at the time they are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into the biochemical…

The goal of immunotherapy is to enhance the ability of the immune system to kill cancer cells. Immunotherapy is more effective and, in general, the prognosis is better, when more immune cells infiltrate the tumor. We explore the question of…

Directed cell motion in response to an external chemical gradient occurs in many biological phenomena such as wound healing, angiogenesis, and cancer metastasis. Chemotaxis is often characterized by the accuracy, persistence, and speed of…

Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control. After surgery, chemotherapy, and other invasive treatments, hyperthermia is a suitable choice with the minimal side effects. In this paper, the treatment of breast…

Chemotherapy treatment for cancer is a complex optimisation problem with a large number of interacting variables and constraints. A number of different probabilistic algorithms have been applied to it with varying success. In this paper we…

The problem of the onset and growth of solid tumour in homogeneous tissue is regarded using an approach based on local interaction between the tumoral and the sane tissue cells. The characteristic sizes and growth rates of spherical…

Cancer is a term used to refer to a large set of diseases. The cancerous cells grow and divide and, as a result, they form tumours that grow in size. The immune system recognise the cancerous cells and attack them, though, it can be…

It is a common point that "soft" condensed matter (like granular materials or foams) can reduce damage caused by impact or explosion. It is attributed to their ability to absorb significant energy. This is certainly the case for a…

We consider physics behind the FLASH modality of cancer radiation treatment where extremely short treatment times are achieved with ultra high dose rates maintaining the conventional antitumor effectiveness and yet substantially reducing…

Determining the extent to which a patient is benefiting from cancer therapy is challenging. Criteria for quantifying the extent of "tumor response" observed within a few cycles of treatment have been established for various types of solid…

We present a mathematical analysis of a mixed ODE-PDE model describing the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of tumor and normal cells within a tissue subject to the effects of a chemotherapeutic drug. The model assumes that the…

We investigate morphologies of proliferating cellular tissues using a newly developed numerical simulation model for mechanical cell division and migration in 2D. The model is applied to a bimodal mixture consisting of stiff cells with a…

Despite all the advances achieved in the field of tumor-biology research, in most cases conventional therapies including chemotherapy are still the leading choices. The main disadvantage of these treatments, in addition to the low…

Doctors are well aware that sometimes cancer treatments not only fail, but even work backwards, i.e. they make the treated tumor grow. In this work we present a mathematical perspective on this paradox in the case of chemotherapy, by…

In this work we investigate a mathematical model describing tumour growth under a treatment by chemotherapy that incorporates time-delay related to the conversion from resting to hunting cells. We study the model using values for the…
