This study presents a stochastic tumor growth model using a diffusion process. The model simulates tumor evolution, therapy effects, and analyzes outcomes for parathyroid tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Biology
  • Biophysics
  • Computational Oncology

Background:

  • Solid tumor growth often follows deterministic patterns like the Gompertz law.
  • Understanding tumor cell evolution under constraints is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stochastic model for solid tumor growth based on the Gompertz law.
  • To analyze tumor cell dynamics using a one-dimensional diffusion process with absorbing boundaries.
  • To simulate the impact of time-dependent therapies on tumor progression.

Main Methods:

  • Stochastic modeling incorporating the Gompertz law.
  • One-dimensional diffusion process with absorbing boundaries (healing threshold, patient death).
  • Numerical analysis of the first exit time problem.

  • Simulation of time-dependent therapy effects.

    • Main Results:

    • The model captures tumor cell evolution within defined biological limits.
    • Numerical simulations provide insights into the first exit time problem.
    • The model effectively simulates the influence of time-dependent therapeutic interventions.
    • Specific numerical results are presented for parathyroid tumor growth.

    Conclusions:

    • The stochastic Gompertz-based diffusion model offers a robust framework for studying tumor dynamics.
    • The model can be a valuable tool for predicting tumor response to therapy.
    • Further applications to specific tumor types, like parathyroid tumors, are demonstrated.
