title: Mathematical models to predict behaviour of tumours?
abstract: Mathematical modeling is an important tool in science that allows the investigator to examine phenomena that are not easily studied by direct experiment. The growth of neoplasms and their response to treatment are processes that appear particularly well suited for study by this approach. The ready availability of inexpensive powerful microcomputers and sophisticated software makes this research avenue open to all experimental and clinical oncologists.
