A Mathematical Model of Tumor Volume Changes during Radiotherapy
PURPOSE To develop a clinically viable mathematical model that quantitatively predicts tumor volume change during radiotherapy in order to provide treatment response assessment for prognosis, treatment plan optimization, and adaptation. METHOD AND MATERIALS The correction factors containing hypoxia, DNA single strand breaks, potentially lethal damage, and other factors were used to develop an...
متن کاملA stochastic mathematical model of avascular tumor growth patterns and its treatment by means of noises
Due to the rate increase in cancer incidence, many researchers in different fields have been conducting studies on cancer-related phenomena. Most studies are conducted to focus on cellular and molecular aspects of cancerous diseases and treatment strategies. Physicists have been using mathematical modeling and simulation to explain the growth pattern of tumors. Although most published studies i...

ID: 9234 Title: A robust approach for estimating tumor volume change during radiotherapy of lung cancer. Purpose: Radiotherapy treatment of lung cancer patients is complicated by changes in tumor position due to breathing and changes in size due to regression. Accurate quantification of these changes during the course of treatment would likely improve tumor response and reduce toxicity risks. W...
متن کاملA mathematical model of tumor-immune interactions.
A mathematical model of the interactions between a growing tumor and the immune system is presented. The equations and parameters of the model are based on experimental and clinical results from published studies. The model includes the primary cell populations involved in effector T-cell mediated tumor killing: regulatory T cells, helper T cells, and dendritic cells. A key feature is the inclu...
متن کاملEfficient measurement of total tumor microvascularity ex vivo using a mathematical model to optimize volume subsampling
We introduce immunofluorescence and automated image processing protocols for serial tumor sections to objectively and efficiently quantify tumor microvasculature following antivascular therapy. To determine the trade-off between tumor subsampling and throughput versus microvessel quantification accuracy, we provide a mathematical model that accounts for tumor-specific vascular heterogeneity. Th...
