Models of tumor-host interaction as competing populations: implications for tumor biology and treatment.

Abstract excerpt

Population ecology mathematical models examine tumors not as an isolated collection of transformed individuals but as part of a dynamic society of interacting malignant and normal cells. This approach investigates the mechanisms by which a small clone of neoplastic cells is able to replace the much larger and previously stable population of normal cells, despite the numerical advantage of the latter and the...
