Abstract:

Introduction: Breast cancer is a cancer that is caused by abnormal growth of breast cells. Modeling  and simulation of the growth and treatment of breast cancer, along with providing the possibility of doing experiments and research, can reduce the time and cost of treatment by predicting some cases. The purpose of the present research was to develop an agent-based model for the simulation of breast tissue and the growth and spread of tumor in various breast cancer states. Method: In this research, agent-based modeling and simulation method, as well as library studies were used. NetLogo software was used for designing and modeling of breast anatomy and development of model with the required knowledge. Then, according to the patient's age, tumor grading and cancer cells spread, simulation of the growth and development of various breast cancer states in different times were investigated. In order to validate the model, clinical data and reports related to the age and grade, size, growth and spread of tumor in a number of patients with breast cancer were studied and considered and compared with model outcomes. Results: According to the experiments related to the analysis and validation of the model, the developed model had relatively acceptable results about the growth of breast tumors and the proliferation of cancerous cells in lymph nodes in various breast cancer states.  Conclusion: Agent-based modeling can be used as a relatively useful and efficient method in identifying and analyzing breast cancer behavior and predicting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.

Modeling and simulation of ovarian cancer and tumor growth and spread in different stages of ovarian cancer according to the TNM system

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is caused by malignant changes in the cells of the ovary. In various studies, cancer has been regarded as a biological system that has a set of characteristics; therefore, presenting a model of this system can considerably help to study and predict the phenomena related to the growth and spread of cancer. This study attempted to model and simulate the growth and spr...
