Number of cells at time t Probability that a cell divides in unit time at time t Probability that a cell dies in unit time at time t ASSUME a closed population

27 Cancer Models

28 Background In the U.S. 4% chance for the average person to develop cancer Breast cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among American women Risk factors: incidence in family, oral contraceptives, obesity Normal cells have many checkpoints During checkpoints reproduction is stopped if abnormality is detected Cancer cells don t have these checkpoint. Unmanageable proliferation leads to loss of genetic information Recent cancer cells more mutated than older cancer cells.
