Modeling Cancer Progression: An Integrated Workflow Extending Data-Driven Kinetic Models to Bio-Mechanical PDE Models
Computational modeling of cancer can help unveil dynamics and interactions that are hard to replicate experimentally. Thanks to the advancement in cancer databases and data analysis technologies, these models have become more robust than ever. There are many mathematical models which investigate cancer through different approaches, from sub-cellular to tissue scale, and from treatment to diagnostic points of view. In this study, we lay out a step-by-step methodology for a data-driven mechanistic model of the tumor microenvironment. We discuss data acquisition strategies, data preparation, parameter estimation, and sensitivity analysis techniques. Furthermore, we propose a possible approach to extend mechanistic ODE models to PDE models coupled with mechanical growth. The workflow discussed in this article can help understand the complex temporal and spatial interactions between cells and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment and their effect on tumor growth.

Integrating Protein Sequence and Expression Level to Analysis Molecular Characterization of Breast Cancer Subtypes
Breast cancer's complexity and variability pose significant challenges in understanding its progression and guiding effective treatment. This study aims to integrate protein sequence data with expression levels to improv…
ClusteringFeature ImportanceLanguage ModellingDeep learning-based detection of morphological features associated with hypoxia in H&E breast cancer whole slide images
Hypoxia occurs when tumour cells outgrow their blood supply, leading to regions of low oxygen levels within the tumour. Calculating hypoxia levels can be an important step in understanding the biology of tumours, their c…

Purpose Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have significant prognostic values in cancers. However, very few automated, deep-learning-based TIL scoring algorithms have been developed for colorectal cancers (CRC). Metho…
A Global Structural EM Algorithm for a Model of Cancer Progression
Cancer has complex patterns of progression that include converging as well as diverging progressional pathways. Vogelstein's path model of colon cancer was a pioneering contribution to cancer research. Since then, se…
