This project, ‘Computational modeling of tumour growth kinetics to inform early cancer detection’, develops mathematical models using clinical data to simulate tumour growth, its metastatic spread, and biomarker shedding. This is to individualise early detection strategies and identify cancer types most likely to be candidates for new approaches to early detection. Targeted cancers include prostate, kidney, lung, breast and ovarian. This study is funded by the CRUK International Alliance for Cancer Early detection (ACED) and involves collaboration with investigators from Stanford University, Mount Sinai Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, UCL, and the University of Cambridge.
