Mathematical Oncology: Invasion and Metastatic Spread

Explore a comprehensive lecture on cancer invasion and metastatic spread delivered by Dr. Mark Chaplain from the University of St Andrews as part of the Graduate Course in Mathematical Oncology. Delve into the mathematical modeling and analysis of how cancer cells invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant organs through metastasis. Learn about the complex biological processes and mathematical frameworks used to understand these critical aspects of cancer progression. Part of the Fields Institute's Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology, the lecture combines advanced mathematical concepts with oncological principles to explain the mechanisms behind cancer cell movement and colonization of new sites in the body.
