This chapter deals with reaction-diffusion processes relevant in tumour growth problems, including the diffusion and consumption of oxygen, the production of growth factors, and the infusion of drugs. Finally, the growth of a glioma is described with a linear reaction-diffusion model, which allows some mathematical analysis to be carried out.

摘要

This chapter deals with reaction-diffusion processes relevant in tumour growth problems, including the diffusion and consumption of oxygen, the production of growth factors, and the infusion of drugs. Finally, the growth of a glioma is described with a linear reaction-diffusion model, which allows some mathematical analysis to be carried out.
