It introduces the concept of mathematical modeling and then applies it to a variety of topics in cancer biology. These include aspects of cancer initiation and progression, such as the somatic evolution of cells, genetic instability, and angiogenesis. The book also discusses the use of mathematical models for the analysis of therapeutic approaches such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and the use of oncolytic viruses. 606 $aCancer$xMathematical models 606 $aCancer$xResearch 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCancer$xMathematical models. 615 0$aCancer$xResearch. 676 $a616.99/4/00724 700 $aWodarz$b Dominik$0721741 701 $aKomarova$b Natalia L$0721742 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451324003321 996 $aComputational biology of cancer$92183696 997 $aUNINA
