Abstract : We present a mathematical model that describes the growth of a tumor mass, considering the interaction between the microenvironment abiotic factors and the epigenetic composition of the cancer cell population. We show the dynamics of its effects on radiotherapy treatment.
Results reveal the predictive and diagnostic value of the use of mathematical models as an aid to the medical image in outlining patient-specific therapeutic protocols and optimizing the effectiveness and relapse control.
