1 in 20 people or 5% of people develop 5-10% inherited Many
ways to develop 102,480 new cases in 2013 Death rate dropped FAP
attributes to 1% of all colorectal cancer
Slide 4
This is using mathematics to find a model of a cancer-immune
system interaction Finding the Ordinary Differential equation can
help us with finding our graph/model We are focusing on Colorectal
Cancer(colon cancer) We would use this model to understand the
tumor growth rate so that we can understand how to help the
anti-tumor activity. This will help explain how it is just not
tumor growth within a normal cell but also how chemicals can play a
role in growth rates
Slide 5
We will be using just the one and two equation models. One
equation models explain the growth rate Two equation models explain
the tumor cells and generic effector cells. x=tumor cells and
y=immune effective cells while z, w= cytokines and other cells
These are not well developed enough to create therapies from
this.
