Mathematical oncology provides unique and invaluable insights into tumour growth on both the microscopic and macroscopic levels. This review presents state-of-the-art modelling techniques and focuses on their role in understanding…
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…
A major goal of modern computational biology is to simulate the collective behaviour of large cell populations starting from the intricate web of molecular interactions occurring at the microscopic level. In this paper we describe a…
In this paper, we study a system of three evolutionary operator equations involving fractional powers of selfadjoint, monotone, unbounded, linear operators having compact resolvents. This system constitutes a generalization of a phase field…
Mathematical modeling and simulation is a promising approach to personalized cancer medicine. Yet, the complexity, heterogeneity and multi-scale nature of cancer pose significant computational challenges. Coupling discrete cell-based models…
We studied the effect of additive and multiplicative noises on the growth of a tumor based on a logistic growth model. The steady-state probability distribution and the average population of the tumor cells were given to explain the…
In this paper, we present a novel numerical framework for solving a specific biological reaction-diffusion-advection system of cancer growth in three dimensions (3D) using particles of variable mass. We adopt empirical particle measures to…
This paper investigates dynamic behaviors of the tumor-immune system perturbed by environmental noise. The model describes the response of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) to the growth of an immunogenic tumour. The main methods are…
We consider a stochastic model, describing the growth of two competing infections on $\mathbb{R}^d$. The growth takes place by way of spherical outbursts in the infected region, an outburst in the type 1 (2) infected region causing all…
In this review, we discuss recent advances on the plasticity of cancer stem cells and highlight their relevance to understand the metastatic process and to guide therapeutic interventions. Recent results suggest that the strict hierarchical…
We consider a multistage cancer model in which cells are arranged in a $d$-dimensional integer lattice. Starting with all wild-type cells, we prove results about the distribution of the first time when two neutral mutations have accumulated…
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}.…
Cancer cells co-cultured in vitro reveal unexpected differential growth rates that classical exponential growth models cannot account for. Two non-interacting cell lines were grown in the same culture, and counts of each species were…
A recently proposed single progenitor cell model for skin cell proliferation [Clayton et al., Nature v446, 185 (2007)] is extended to incorporate homeostasis as a fixed point of the dynamics. Unlimited cell proliferation in such a model can…
Tumorigenesis is a complex process that is heterogeneous and affected by numerous sources of variability. This study presents a stochastic extension of a biologically grounded tumor growth model, referred to as the Norton-Simon-Massagu\'e…
Aberrantly regulated cell motility is a hallmark of cancer cells. A hybrid agent-based model has been developed to investigate the synergistic and antagonistic cell motility-impacting effects of three microenvironment variables…
Spatial agent-based models are increasingly used to investigate the evolution of solid tumours subject to localised cell-cell interactions and microenvironmental heterogeneity. Here we present a non-technical step by step guide to…
Motivated by experimental observations, we develop a mathematical model of chemotactically directed tumor growth. We present an analytical study of the model as well as a numerical one. The mathematical analysis shows that: (i) tumor cell…
Employing a novel two-dimensional computational model we have simulated the feedback between angiogenesis and tumor growth dynamics. Analyzing vessel formation and elongation towards the concentration gradient of the tumor-derived…
We investigate a hybrid PDE/Monte Carlo technique for the variance reduced simulation of an agent-based multiscale model for tumor growth. The variance reduction is achieved by combining a simulation of the stochastic agent-based model on…
