Waiting time models of cancer progression
Cancer progression is an evolutionary process that is driven by mutation and selection in a population of tumor cells. We discuss mathematical models of cancer progression, starting from traditional multistage theory. Each stage is associated with the occurrence of genetic alterations and their fixation in the population. We describe the accumulation of mutations using conjunctive Bayesian netw...
متن کاملGenetic Progression and the Waiting Time to Cancer
Cancer results from genetic alterations that disturb the normal cooperative behavior of cells. Recent high-throughput genomic studies of cancer cells have shown that the mutational landscape of cancer is complex and that individual cancers may evolve through mutations in as many as 20 different cancer-associated genes. We use data published by Sjöblom et al. (2006) to develop a new mathematical...
متن کاملTumor progression in waiting time for radiotherapy in head and neck cancer.
INTRODUCTION Waiting-time prior to radiotherapy is a well-known problem. This study aims to determine the impact of time on tumor growth in a patient population with squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). MATERIAL AND METHODS In a consecutive cohort, all patients with both a diagnostic scan and a treatment-planning scan were identified. In total 648 patients were seen, and 414 ...
متن کاملEffects of microRNAs polymorphism in cancer progression
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known as a new class of small RNAs (18-25 nucleotides) that regulate gene expression at multiple levels from transcription to translation. Considering the important role of miRNAs in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, any variations in their expression can contribute to various anomalies, such as tumorigenesis. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have ...
متن کاملMathematical models on cancer progression
The Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) involvement into tumor progression, tumor recurrence, and therapy resistance is one of the most studied subject of current cancer research [10,4,8,6]. Nevertheless, due to the complex dynamics characterizing the CSC tumor, a comprehensive theory has not been established yet. To this end, some advises can be obtained combining mathematical modeling and experimental dat...
