Abstract

Currently, no quantitative approach does exist for describing spatial heterogeneous patterns of tumor progression and formation of a recurrent tumor. Mathematical models of tumor progression may provide valuable and complementary information for physicians regarding the spatio-temporal dynamics of such tumors. They can help identify predictive factors of tumor invasion and can help to adapt the safety margin of radiation therapy. The present work introduces a new model to simulate the progression of brain metastasis.
