A Review of Mathematical Models for Tumor Dynamics and Treatment Resistance Evolution of Solid Tumors

TLDR
The opportunities of a model‐based approach as discussed in this review can be of great benefit for future optimizing and personalizing anticancer treatment.
Abstract
Increasing knowledge of intertumor heterogeneity, intratumor heterogeneity, and cancer evolution has improved the understanding of anticancer treatment resistance. A better characterization of cancer evolution and subsequent use of this knowledge for personalized treatment would increase the chance to overcome cancer treatment resistance. Model-based approaches may help achieve this goal. In this review, we comprehensively summarized mathematical models of tumor dynamics for solid tumors and of drug resistance evolution. Models displayed by ordinary differential equations, algebraic equations, and partial differential equations for characterizing tumor burden dynamics are introduced and discussed. As for tumor resistance evolution, stochastic and deterministic models are introduced and discussed. The results may facilitate a novel model-based analysis on anticancer treatment response and the occurrence of resistance, which incorporates both tumor dynamics and resistance evolution. The opportunities of a model-based approach as discussed in this review can be of great benefit for future optimizing and personalizing anticancer treatment.

Optimal Strategy and Benefit of Pulsed Therapy Depend On Tumor Heterogeneity and Aggressiveness at Time of Treatment Initiation

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigate treatment strategies that may delay relapse using mathematical modeling and find that for a single-drug therapy, pulse treatment (short, elevated doses followed by a complete break from treatment)delays relapse compared with continuous treatment with the same total dose over a length of time.

Integrating a dynamic central metabolism model of cancer cells with a hybrid 3D multiscale model for vascular hepatocellular carcinoma growth

TL;DR: In this article , a multiscale model of vascular tumour growth is proposed to model the metabolic processes occurring in individual cancer cells and the relationship between dosage, timing, and scheduling of anti-neoplastic agents and the physiological effects of tumour metabolism.

Model-informed experimental design recommendations for distinguishing intrinsic and acquired targeted therapeutic resistance in head and neck cancer

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a family of mathematical models, with each member of the family assuming a different timing and mechanism of resistance, and presented a method for fitting these models to individual volumetric data, and utilize model selection and parameter sensitivity analyses to ask: which member(s) of this family of models best describes HNSCC response to cetuximab, and what does that tell us about the timing and mechanisms driving resistance?

The Mathematical Model

TL;DR: The death rate per tumor cell due to immunological response is proportional to the total number of antigen-producing (tumor) cells; thus, the total death rate is quadratic.
