Entropy Production Rate for Avascular Tumor Growth
The entropy production rate was determined for avascular tumor growth. The proposed formula relates the fractal dimension of the tumor contour with the quotient between mitosis and apoptosis rate, which can be used to characterize the degree of proliferation of tumor cells. The entropy production rate was determined for fourteen tumor cell lines as a physical function of cancer robustness. The ...
متن کاملA multiscale model for avascular tumor growth.
The desire to understand tumor complexity has given rise to mathematical models to describe the tumor microenvironment. We present a new mathematical model for avascular tumor growth and development that spans three distinct scales. At the cellular level, a lattice Monte Carlo model describes cellular dynamics (proliferation, adhesion, and viability). At the subcellular level, a Boolean network...
متن کاملA viscoelastic model for avascular tumor growth
In this article, we present a continuous model for tumor growth . This model describes the evolution of three cellular densities: the density of sane tissue, cancer cells and extracellular medium. In order to render correctly the cellular division, this model use a discrete description of the cell cycle (the set of steps a cell has to undergo in order to divide) presented in [7]. To render cell...
متن کاملRicci Flow and Entropy Model for Avascular Tumor Growth and Decay Control
Prediction and control of cancer invasion is a vital problem in medical science. This paper proposes a modern geometric Ricci–flow and entropy based model for control of avascular multicellular tumor spheroid growth and decay. As a tumor growth/decay control tool, a monoclonal antibody therapy is proposed.
متن کاملNumerical simulation of avascular tumor growth
A mathematical and numerical model for the description of different aspects of microtumor development is presented. The model is based in the solution of a system of partial differential equations describing an avascular tumor growth. A detailed second-order numeric algorithm for solving this system is described. Parameters are swiped to cover a range of feasible physiological values. While pre...
