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 کاملDescribing Prostate Cancer Dynamics: Second Look at PSA-Doubling Time and PSA-Specific Growth Rate
Physicians responsible for patient care focus on readily available clinical and trending labo‐ ratory data to help direct the patient’s clinical course and evaluate efficacy of therapy. Most clinicians fail to incorporate newer parameters of tumor response such as tumor growth rate when evaluating patient treatment response. Available now, is a wealth of dynamic growth parameters that shed new ...
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 ...
متن کاملRole of Rate of Specific Growth Rate in Different Growth Processes: A First Principle Approach
Effort has been given for the development of an analytical approach that helps to address several sigmoidal and non-sigmoidal growth processes found in literature. In the proposed approach, the role of specific growth rate in different growth processes has been considered in an unified manner. It is found that the different growth equations can be derived from the same functional form of rate e...
