Logistic Equations in Tumour Growth Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present some approaches to tumour growth modelling using the logistic equation. As the first approach the well-known ordinary differential equation is used to model the EAT in mice. For the same kind of tumour, a logistic equation with time delay is also used. As the second approach, a logistic equation with diffusion is proposed. In this case a delay argument in the reaction term is also considered. Some mathematical properties of the presented models are studied in the paper. The results are illustrated using computer simulations.

Analysis of a Tumour Growth Model with MATLAB
Mathematical modelling can play a very important role in cancer research. In particular, modelling the growth of tumour has the potential of shedding light on the mechanisms of tumour cell growth and proliferation. In this paper, we examine and analyze one such model with the aid of MATLAB. The model, first proposed by Sherratt and Chaplain in 2001, is based on a set of partial differential equ...
متن کاملModelling Tumour-immunity Interactions with Different Stimulation Functions
Tumour immunotherapy is aimed at the stimulation of the otherwise inactive immune system to remove, or at least to restrict, the growth of the original tumour and its metastases. The tumour-immune system interactions involve the stimulation of the immune response by tumour antigens, but also the tumour induced death of lymphocytes. A system of two non-linear ordinary differential equations was ...
متن کاملA theoretical study of the response of vascular tumours to different types of chemotherapy
In this paper we formulate and explore a mathematical model to study continuous infusion of a vascular tumour with isolated and combined blood-borne chemotherapies. The mathematical model comprises a system of nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the evolution of the healthy (host) cells, the tumour cells and the tumour vasculature, coupled with distribution of a generic angio...
متن کاملA multiphase Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy model for tumour growth with necrosis
We derive a Cahn–Hilliard–Darcy model to describe multiphase tumour growth taking interactions with multiple chemical species into account as well as the simultaneous occurrence of proliferating, quiescent and necrotic regions. Via a coupling of the Cahn–Hilliard–Darcy equations to a system of reaction-diffusion equations a multitude of phenomena such as nutrient diffusion and consumption, angi...
متن کاملInvestigation of various growth mechanisms of solid tumour growth within the linear-quadratic model for radiotherapy.
The standard linear-quadratic survival model for radiotherapy is used to investigate different schedules of radiation treatment planning to study how these may be affected by different tumour repopulation kinetics between treatments. The laws for tumour cell repopulation include the logistic and Gompertz models and this extends the work of Wheldon et al (1977 Br. J. Radiol. 50 681), which was c...
