A mathematical framework for modelling the metastatic spread of cancer
2018-11-14
Abstract excerpt
Cancer is a complex disease that starts with mutations of key genes in one cell or a small group of cells at a primary site in the body. If these cancer cells continue to grow successfully and, at some later stage, invade the surrounding tissue and acquire a vascular network (tumour-induced angiogenesis), they can spread to distant secondary sites in the body.
