Ricci Flow and Entropy Model for Avascular Tumor Growth and Decay Control
Abstract
Description
Prediction and control of cancer invasion is a vital problem in medical science. This paper proposes a modern geometric Ricci-flow and entropy based model for control of avascular multicellular tumor spheroid growth and decay. As a tumor growth/decay control tool, a monoclonal antibody therapy is proposed.
