Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biophysics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • The impact of fluid flow on cancer progression remains poorly understood.
  • There is a critical need for advanced tumor models to investigate these effects.
  • Current models often lack the ability to fully replicate the tumor microenvironment's complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the necessity of perfused tumor models for studying cancer progression.
  • To explore the utility of microfluidic and macroscale models in cancer research.
  • To emphasize the importance of fluid dynamics in mimicking the tumor microenvironment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing microfluidic tumor models for high spatiotemporal control of cellular processes.
  • Investigating cell-cell interactions and tumor cell migration under interstitial flow.
  • Employing macroscale models to capture the multi-scale nature of tumor growth and invasion.

Main Results:

  • Microfluidic models enable detailed study of cellular behaviors influenced by flow.
  • Macroscale models are essential for understanding broader cancer growth dynamics.
  • Integrating micro- and macroscale fluid dynamics offers a more comprehensive approach.

Conclusions:

  • Perfused tumor models are crucial for elucidating the role of fluid flow in cancer.
  • A multi-scale modeling approach, incorporating both microfluidic and macroscale perspectives, is vital.
  • Better understanding of fluid dynamics in tumors can significantly improve cancer progression modeling.
