Mathematical Modeling Gains Days for Brain Cancer Patients

For brain tumors such as glioblastoma it is difficult for physicians to access the outcome of a particular course of therapy. Matthew R. Francis reports on a proliferation-invasion model that was constructed by Kristin Rae Swanson and her colleagues at the Mayo Clinic. The model consists of a reaction-diffusion equation to estimate how cancer cells spread throughout the brain and uses magnetic resonance imaging data for calibration. Swanson hopes that use of this model might help to predict patient response to a given regimen and therefore lead to an individualized treatment.
