Area of Science:

Neuro-oncology
Computational Biology
Mathematical Modeling

Background:

Brain tumor modeling is crucial for predicting progression and guiding treatment.
Computer models offer insights into tumor physiology and drug response scenarios.
Limited patient data (1-3 MRI sessions) hinders accurate tumor evolution prediction.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss biological and clinical aspects of brain tumor growth and treatment.
To present mathematical modeling contributions for tumor growth and treatment effects.
To highlight limitations of current models, particularly their lack of patient specificity.

Main Methods:

Review of mathematical modeling approaches for brain tumor growth.
Categorization of models into cellular/microscopic, macroscopic, and hybrid.
Discussion of treatment modalities including surgery, radiotherapy, and drugs.

Main Results:

Current models are broadly categorized into microscopic, macroscopic, and hybrid approaches.
The underlying mathematical theory is analogous to that used in protein modeling.
A significant limitation is the non-patient-specific nature of existing models.

Conclusions:

Patient-specific brain tumor modeling is essential for accurate prediction and personalized treatment.
Further development is needed to overcome data limitations and enhance model specificity.
Improved models can significantly aid in surgical decision-making and therapeutic strategies.
