Adjoint sensitivity analysis of a tumor growth model and its application to spatiotemporal radiotherapy optimization

We investigate a spatial model of growth of a tumor and its sensitivity to radiotherapy. It is assumed that the radiation dose may vary in time and space, like in intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The change of the final state of the tumor depends on local differences in the radiation dose an...
