Mathematical models of Leukaemia and its treatment: A review
Leukaemia accounts for around 3% of all cancer types diagnosed in adults, and is the most common type of cancer in children of paediatric age. There is increasing interest in the use of mathematical models in oncology to draw inferences and make predictions, providing a complementary picture to experimental biomedical models. In this paper we recapitulate the state of the art of mathematical modelling of leukaemia growth dynamics, in time and response to treatment. We intend to describe the mathematical methodologies, the biological aspects taken into account in the modelling, and the conclusions of each study. This review is intended to provide researchers in the field with solid background material, in order to achieve further breakthroughs in the promising field of mathematical biology.

CAR T cell therapy in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: Insights from mathematical models
Immunotherapies use components of the patient immune system to selectively target cancer cells. The use of CAR T cells to treat B-cell malignancies --leukaemias and lymphomas-- is one of the most successful examples, wit…
Novel therapeutic targets in chronic myeloid leukaemia through a discrete time discrete Markov chain model of BCR-ABL1 interactions
Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is a blood-derived proliferative disorder, which is highly associated to a translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22 or the creation of Philadelphia chromosome Ph(+) cases, inducing the synthe…
SpecificityDiagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Using Machine Learning
We train a machine learning model on a dataset of 2177 individuals using as features 26 probe sets and their age in order to classify if someone has acute myeloid leukaemia or is healthy. The dataset is multicentric and …
BIG-bench Machine LearningDynamical properties of feedback signalling in B lymphopoiesis: A mathematical modelling approach
Haematopoiesis is the process of generation of blood cells. Lymphopoiesis generates lymphocytes, the cells in charge of the adaptive immune response. Disruptions of this process are associated with diseases like leukaemi…
Prospect for application of mathematical models in combination cancer treatments
The long-term efficacy of targeted therapeutics for cancer treatment can be significantly limited by the type of therapy and development of drug resistance, inter alia. Experimental studies indicate that the factors enha…
