Mathematical and Machine Learning Models of Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Review.

This review explores the multifaceted landscape of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by delving into both mechanistic and machine learning models. While machine learning models leverage patients' gene expression and clinical data through a variety of techniques to predict patients' outcomes, mechanistic models focus on investigating cells' and molecules' interactions within RCC tumors. These interactions are notably centered around immune cells, cytokines, tumor cells, and the development of lung metastases.

Patient-Specific Mathematical Model of the Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Microenvironment.

The interactions between cells and molecules in the tumor microenvironment can give insight into the initiation and progression of tumors and their optimal treatment options. In this paper, we developed an ordinary differential equation (ODE) mathematical model of the interaction network of key players in the clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) microenvironment. We then performed a global gradient-based sensitivity analysis to investigate the effects of the most sensitive parameters of the model on the number of cancer cells.

Investigating key cell types and molecules dynamics in PyMT mice model of breast cancer through a mathematical model.

The most common kind of cancer among women is breast cancer. Understanding the tumor microenvironment and the interactions between individual cells and cytokines assists us in arriving at more effective treatments. Here, we develop a data-driven mathematical model to investigate the dynamics of key cell types and cytokines involved in breast cancer development.

A Mathematical Model of Breast Tumor Progression Based on Immune Infiltration.

Breast cancer is the most prominent type of cancer among women. Understanding the microenvironment of breast cancer and the interactions between cells and cytokines will lead to better treatment approaches for patients. In this study, we developed a data-driven mathematical model to investigate the dynamics of key cells and cytokines involved in breast cancer development.
