Autowaves in the Model of Infiltrative Tumour Growth with Migration-Proliferation Dichotomy

A.V. Kolobov, V.V. Gubernov, A.A. Polezhaev (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

A mathematical model of infiltrative tumour growth is investigated taking into account transitions between two possible states of malignant cells: proliferation and migration. These transitions are considered to depend on oxygen level in a threshold manner where high oxygen concentration allows cell proliferation, while concentration below a certain critical value induces cell migration. The infiltrative tumour spreading rate dependence on model parameters is obtained. It is shown that...

Mathematical model of tumour cord growth along the source of nutrient

S. Astanin, A. Tosin (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

A mathematical model of the tumour growth along a blood vessel is proposed. The model employs the mixture theory approach to describe a tissue which consists of cells, extracellular matrix and liquid. The growing tumour tissue is supposed to be surrounded by the host tissue. Tumours where complete oxydation of glucose prevails are considered. Special attention is paid to consistent description of oxygen consumption and growth processes based on the energy balance. A finite difference...

Angiogenesis process with vessel impairment for Gompertzian and logistic type of tumour growth

Jan Poleszczuk, Urszula Foryś (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We propose two models of vessel impairment in the process of tumour angiogenesis and we consider three types of treatment: standard chemotherapy, antiangiogenic treatment and a combined treatment. The models are based on the idea of Hahnfeldt et al. that the carrying capacity for any solid tumour depends on its vessel density. In the models proposed the carrying capacity also depends on the process of vessel impairment. In the first model a logistic type equation is used to describe...
