Specific growth rate versus doubling time for quantitative characterization of tumor growth rate.
Doubling time (DT) is widely used for quantification of tumor growth rate. DT is usually determined from two volume estimations with measurement time intervals comparable with or shorter than DT. Clinical data show that the frequency distribution of DT in patients is positively skewed, with some very long DT values compared with the average DT. Growth rate can also be quantified using specific ...

متن کاملTime‐Dependent Bias of Tumor Growth Rate and Time to Tumor Regrowth
In a recent study by Han et al. the authors highlight that a tumor growth inhibition metric termed time-to-tumor-growth (TTG) derived from imaging time-series data is a strong predictor of survival. The authors demonstrate the strength of TTG’s correlation to survival using Kaplan-Meier curves in Figure 2 of their article. Indeed, the relationship seems incredibly strong, maybe too good to be t...
متن کاملTumor Growth Rate Approximation-Assisted Estimation
From tumor to tumor, there is a great variation in the proportion of cancer cells growing and making daughter cells that ultimately metastasize. The differential growth within a single tumor, however, has not been studied extensively and this may be helpful in predicting the aggressiveness of a particular cancer type. The estimation problem of tumor growth rates from several populations is stud...
متن کاملEntropy Production Rate for Avascular Tumor Growth
The entropy production rate was determined for avascular tumor growth. The proposed formula relates the fractal dimension of the tumor contour with the quotient between mitosis and apoptosis rate, which can be used to characterize the degree of proliferation of tumor cells. The entropy production rate was determined for fourteen tumor cell lines as a physical function of cancer robustness. The ...
