Mathematical Modeling of Tumor Growth

Preliminary: Over the last decade or so there has been renewed
interest in the mathematical modeling of tumor growth. This book
presents an overview of recent mathematical models developed to
examine the many stages of cancer growth and development from a single
mutant cell through to the metastatic spread of the disease. The
mathematical models employed are ordinary and partial differential
equation models, discrete models, and continuum mechanics models.
Various analytical and numerical methods are used in the analysis of
these models and at all times clinical implications of the model
results are considered. TOC:Preface * Biology/Pathology of Cancer * Modeling the Immune Response
to Cancer * Simple Models of Tumor Growth * Modeling Avascular,
Multicellular Spheroid Growth * Pre-pattern Models of Tumor Growth *
Modeling Tumor-induced Angiogenesis * Modeling Invasion and Metastasis
* Mechanical Models of Growth * Index
