A macroscopic model of the tumor Gompertzian growth is proposed. The new approach is based on the energetic balance among the different cell activities, described by methods of statistical mechanics and related to the growth inhibitor…

We consider a time-inhomogeneous diffusion process able to describe the dynamics of infected people in a susceptible-infectious epidemic model in which the transmission intensity function is time-dependent. Such a model is well suited to…

A macroscopic model of the tumor Gompertzian growth is proposed. This approach is based on the energetic balance among the different cell activities, described by methods of statistical mechanics and related to the growth inhibitor factors.…

In the present article the diffusion equation is used to model the spatio-temporal dynamics of a tumor, taking into account the heterogeneous of the medium. This approach makes it possible to take into account the complex geometric shape of…

Tumor growth has long been a target of investigation within the context of mathematical and computer modelling. The objective of this study is to propose and analyze a two-dimensional probabilistic cellular automata model to describe…

In this survey article, a variety of systems modeling tumor growth are discussed. In accordance with the hallmarks of cancer, the described models incorporate the primary characteristics of cancer evolution. Specifically, we focus on…

We propose a new model of cancer growth based on nonextensive entropy. The evolution equation depends on the nonextensive parameter q. The exponential, the logistic, and the Gompertz growth laws are particular cases of the generalized…

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…

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…

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…

This paper provides a unified mathematical analysis of a family of non-local diffuse interface models for tumor growth describing evolutions driven by long-range interactions. These integro-partial differential equations model cell-to-cell…

This paper deals with a nonlinear system of partial differential equations modeling a simplified tumor-induced angiogenesis taking into account only the interplay between tumor angiogenic factors and endothelial cells. Considered model…

In this article, we focus on determining a minimum-cost treatment program aimed at maintaining the size of a cancerous tumor at a level that allows the patient to live comfortably. At each predetermined point in a treatment horizon, the…

This paper presents a probabilistic model for reasoning about the state of a system as it changes over time, both due to exogenous and endogenous influences. Our target domain is a class of medical prediction problems that are neither so…

In this work we propose and investigate a family of models, which admits as particular cases some well known mathematical models of tumor-immune system interaction, with the additional assumption that the influx of immune system cells may…

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…

We consider an optimal control problem for a diffuse interface model of tumor growth. The state equations couples a Cahn-Hilliard equation and a reaction-diffusion equation, which models the growth of a tumor in the presence of a nutrient…

A fundamental model of tumor growth in the presence of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents is formulated. The model allows to study the role of the Norton-Simon hypothesis in the context of dose-dense chemotherapy. Dose-dense protocols aim at…

This paper studies identification and inference in transformation models with endogenous censoring. Many kinds of duration models, such as the accelerated failure time model, proportional hazard model, and mixed proportional hazard model,…

We consider parameter estimation, hypothesis testing and variable selection for partially time-varying coefficient models. Our asymptotic theory has the useful feature that it can allow dependent, nonstationary error and covariate…
