The importance of dead material within a tumour on the dynamics in response to radiotherapy

Abstract:

In vivo tumours are highly heterogeneous, often comprising regions of hypoxia and necrosis. Radiotherapy significantly alters the intratumoural composition. Moreover, radiation-induced cell death may occur via a number of different mechanisms that act over different timescales. Dead material may therefore occupy a significant portion of the tumour volume for some time after irradiation and may affect the subsequent tumour dynamics.

We present a three phase tumour growth model that ...
