Abstract

A comprehensive model of chemotherapy treatment of cancer can help us to optimize the drug administration/dosage and improve the treatment outcome. In the present study, a multiscale mathematical model of tumor growth during chemotherapy treatment is developed to predict its response to the medication and cancer progression. The modeling is a continuous multiscale simulation consisting of three tissue phases including cancer cells, normal cells, and extracellular matrix. In addition to the drug administration, the impacts of immune cells, programmed cell death, nutrient competition, and glucose concentration are included. The outputs of our mathematical model conform to the published experimental and clinical data, and it can be used in optimizing chemotherapy, and personalized cancer treatment.
