Spatial stochastic models for cancer initiation and progression.

Abstract excerpt

The multistage carcinogenesis hypothesis has been formulated by a number of authors as a stochastic process. However, most previous models assumed "perfect mixing" in the population of cells, and included no information about spatial locations. In this work, we studied the role of spatial dynamics in carcinogenesis. We formulated a 1D spatial generalization of a constant population (Moran) birth-death process,...
