OPTIMISATION MODELLING OF CANCER GROWTH

摘要

Several computational models have been developed in the literature to describe the dynamics of the cell-cycle for the mammalian cell, in particular for cancer cells, using both traditional and new techniques and yielding some positive results. In this paper, we discuss how to optimise model parameters for these types of models and how this can serve to enhance numerical results. We pose the model parameter selection problem as an optimal parameter selection problem on both a normal cell and cancer cell cycle of growth. Various possible objectives are discussed and we illustrate the process with some numerical results.
