New Cancer Study Findings Recently Were Reported by Researchers at Tarbiat Modares University (Learning Parameter Values of a Fractional Model of Cancer Employing Boundary Densities of Tumor Cells).

Researchers at Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran, Iran have conducted a study on tumor growth and drug application in cancer. The study focuses on a free boundary model of tumor growth that includes heterogeneity or different types of tumor cells caused by mutations and different values of drug and nutrient concentrations. The researchers used mathematical modeling and numerical methods to fit the order of fractional derivatives, coefficients, and rates of the model. The study concludes that despite noise, the prediction of the tumor radius is acceptable. This research has been peer-reviewed and published in Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences.
