A Superstatistical Model of Metastasis and Cancer Survival
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a superstatistical model for the progression statistics of malignant cancer cells. The metastatic cascade is modeled as a complex nonequilibrium system with several macroscopic pathways and inverse-chi-square distributed parameters of the underlying Poisson processes. The predictions of the model are in excellent agreement with observed survival time probability distributions of breast cancer patients.

Background and Objectives: Breast cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer among women. In developing countries, the patients’ survival is less than developed countries. Metastasis, as an intermediate event, affects the survival of breast cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the survival of patients after surgery considering metastasis, as the intermediate event, using the illn...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common recurrence cancers among women. There are several factors that can affect the multiple recurrence of this disease, which have been studied and recognized in various studies, however, with the fact that these factors are known, can not always accurately predict the incidence of metastasis. On the other hand, simultaneous examination of the type...
