Mathematical Models of Cancer: When to Predict Novel Therapies, and When Not to.

Mathematical Models of Cancer: When to Predict Novel Therapies, and When Not to. Bull Math Biol. 2019 Jul 23;: Authors: Brady R, Enderling H Abstract The number of publications on mathematical modeling of cancer is growing at an exponential rate, according to PubMed records, provided by the US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. Seminal papers have initiated and promoted mathematical modeling of cancer and have helped define the field of mathematical oncology (Norton and Simon in J Natl Cancer Inst 58:1735-1741, 1977; Norton in Can Res 48:7067-7071, 1988; Hahnfeldt et al. in Can Res 59:4770-4775, 1999; Anderson et al. in Comput Math Methods Med 2:129-154, 2000. https://doi.org/10.1080/10273660008833042 ; Michor et al. in Nature 435:1267-1270, 2005. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature03669 ; Anderson et al. in Cell 127:905-915, 2006. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2006.09.042 ; Benzekry et al. in PLoS Comput Biol 10:e1003800, 2014. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003800 ). Following the introduction of undergraduate and graduate programs in mathematical biology, we have begun to see curricula developing with specific and exclusive focus on mathematical oncology. In 2018, 218 articles on mathematical modeling of cancer were published in various journals, including not only traditional modeling journals like the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology and the Journal of Theoretical Biology, but also publication...
