Cancer is a collection of diseases with the common feature of uncontrolled cellular growth.
Most tissues in the body can give rise to cancer, some even yield several types, and each …

Two major mechanisms are involved in the formation of blood vasculature: vasculogenesis
and angiogenesis. The former term describes the formation of a capillary-like network from …

This paper provides a survey of mathematical models and methods dealing with the analysis
and simulation of tumor dynamics in competition with the immune system. The characteristic …

Tumour growth is a multifactorial process, which has stimulated in recent decades the
development of numerous models trying to figure out the mechanisms controlling solid …

Colorectal cancer results from an accumulation of mutations in tumor suppressor genes and
oncogenes. An additional defining characteristic of colorectal cancer is its genetic instability …

This article reviews the formulation development and characterization of the tumor-targeting
daunorubicin liposome preparation, DaunoXome®. The identification of liposome …

It is well accepted that neo-vascular formation can be divided into three main stages (which
may be overlapping):(1) changes within the existing vessel,(2) formation of a new …

There is a very strong link between the vascularization of a tumour and the spread of the
disease, both locally and to distant sites (Gimbrone et al., 1974, J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 52, 413 …

In order to progress from the relatively harmless avascular state to the potentially lethal
vascular state, solid tumours must induce the growth of new blood vessels from existing …

Over the last 30 years, numerous research groups have attempted to provide mathematical
descriptions of the skin wound healing process. The development of theoretical models of …
