Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual and real brain tumors: using mathematical modeling to quantify glioma growth and invasion.
TL;DR: A review of the recent developments in mathematical modeling of gliomas can be found in this article, where the authors conclude that the velocity of expansion is linear with time and varies about 10-fold, from about 4 mm/year for low-grade glioma to about 3 mm/month for high-grade ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous growth of mean tumor diameter in a subset of grade II gliomas.
Emmanuel Mandonnet,Jean Yves Delattre,Marie Laure Tanguy,Kristin R. Swanson,Antoine F. Carpentier,Hugues Duffau,Philippe Cornu,Rémy van Effenterre,Ellsworth C. Alvord,Laurent Capelle +9 more
TL;DR: Untreated low‐grade oligodendrogliomas or mixed gliomas grow continuously during their premalignant phase, and their pattern of growth can be predicted within a relatively narrow range, according to a mixed model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quantitative model for differential motility of gliomas in grey and white matter.
TL;DR: Using a detailed mapping of the white and grey matter in the brain developed for a MRI simulator, a mathematical model of gliomas is extended to incorporate the effects of augmented cell motility in white matter as compared to grey matter to give insight into microscopic and submicroscopic invasion of the human brain by glioma cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is the blood-brain barrier really disrupted in all glioblastomas? A critical assessment of existing clinical data.

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the clinical literature to support a central hypothesis: that all GBM patients have tumor regions with an intact BBB, and cure for GBM will only be possible if these regions of tumor are adequately treated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of mathematical modeling of glioma proliferation and invasion.
TL;DR: A history of the use of mathematical modeling in the study of the proliferative-invasive growth of gliomas is presented, illustrating the progress made in understanding the in vivo dynamics of invasion and proliferation of tumor cells.
