A Quantitative Theory of Solid Tumor Growth, Metabolic Rate and Vascularization
The relationships between cellular, structural and dynamical properties of tumors have traditionally been studied separately. Here, we construct a quantitative, predictive theory of solid tumor growth, metabolic rate, vascularization and necrosis that integrates the relationships between these properties. To accomplish this, we develop a comprehensive theory that describes the interface and int...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional Mathematical Model of Tumor Angiogenesis: Coupling of Avascular Growth and Vascularization
Introduction As a tumor grows, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases and it grows further if acquires the ability to induce angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present a two-dimensional continuous mathematical model for avascular tumor growth, coupled with a discrete model of angiogenesis. Materials and Methods In the avascular growth model, tumor is considered as a single mass, wh...
متن کاملDiffusion model of tumor vascularization and growth.
A diffusion model of tumor growth, vascularization and necrosis is used to analyze experimental data describing the temporal changes in tumor cell and blood vessel radial distributions in a host-tissue field transplanted with a fibrosarcoma. The dynamic changes can be explained by a mathematical model which views the process as one of diffusion and proliferation in time and space. Coupled diffu...
متن کاملA Coupled Finite Element Model of Tumor Growth and Vascularization
We present a model of solid tumor growth which can account for several stages of tumorigenesis, from the early avascular phase to the angiogenesis driven proliferation. The model combines several previously identified components in a consistent framework, including neoplastic tissue growth, blood and oxygen transport, and angiogenic sprouting. First experiments with the framework and comparison...
متن کاملVascularization of Tumor Growth Models A particle based approach
Angiogenesis is the physiological process involving the formation of new blood vessels from a pre-existing vasculature. This process occurs during embryogenesis, wound healing and arthritis. However, this is also a fundamental step in the growth of solid tumors. Extensive research has been conducted in the past in order to investigate which phenomena give rise to a tumor and particularly the ca...
