Description for Multiscale Modeling of Cancer: An Integrated Experimental and Mathematical Modeling Approach
hardcover. Uniquely connecting theory with experimental data, this book highlights the potential of advanced computational methods in cancer research. Num Pages: 298 pages, 55 b/w illus. 5 tables. BIC Classification: MJCL; PBWH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 184 x 19. Weight in Grams: 750.
Mathematical modeling, analysis and simulation are set to play crucial roles in explaining tumor behavior, and the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells over multiple time and spatial scales. This book, the first to integrate state-of-the-art numerical techniques with experimental data, provides an in-depth assessment of tumor cell modeling at multiple scales. The first part of the text presents a detailed biological background with an examination of single-phase and multi-phase continuum tumor modeling, discrete cell modeling, and hybrid continuum-discrete modeling. In the final two chapters, the authors guide the reader through problem-based illustrations and case studies of brain and breast cancer, ... Read more
