Tumour biology, chaos and non-linear dynamics
David Rew
Mathematical concepts can be helpful in representing the biological world in various ways. Descriptions of linear and non-linear systems, chaos theory, fractal geometry and neural networks all find relevance to the study of oncological problems. We are accustomed to looking for cause and effect patterns in the search for the aetiology and treatment responses of human tumours, as for example in the dosage of chemo- or radiotherapy. Such simple, proportional relationships are described by linear mathematics
