A Novel, Patient-Specific Mathematical Pathology Approach for Assessment of Surgical Volume: Application to Ductal Carcinoma in situ of The Breast by Mary E. Edgerton, Yao-Li Chuang, Paul Macklin, Wei Yang, Elaine L. Bearer, Vittorio Cristini

“…In accordance with biological observations, our model simulates the diffusion-limited in situ tumors with a relatively short phase of fast initial growth, followed by a prolonged slow-growth phase where tumor size is constrained primarily by the relative weight of cell mitosis and death. The former phase may only last for a few months, so that at the time of diagnosis, we may assume that most tumors will have entered the phase where their size is changing slowly. …”
