Correlation between animal and mathematical models for prostate cancer progression (Q634422)

Summary: This work demonstrates that prostate tumour progression \textit{in vivo} can be analysed by using solutions of a mathematical model supplemented by initial conditions chosen according to growth rates of cell lines \textit{in vitro}. The mathematical model is investigated and solved numerically. Its numerical solutions are compared with experimental data from animal models. The numerical results confirm the experimental results with the growth rates \textit{in vivo}.
