Interaction of Brain Cancer Stem Cells and the Tumour Microenvironment: A Computational Study
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common and aggressive primary brain tumours, with a median patient survival time of 6-12 months in adults. It has been recently suggested that a typically small sub-population ... -
Studies of tumor heterogeneity, tumor microenvironment, and radiotherapy: A mathematical and computational approach
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-04)Radiotherapy uses high doses of energy to eradicate cancer cells and thus destroy the bulk of tumors. Radiobiologists try to precisely deliver radiation to a targeted area in order to maximize the cancer cell kill rate ...
