Abstract

Treating cancer patients with metastatic disease remains an ultimate challenge inclinical oncology. Because invasive cancer precludes or limits the use of surgery,metastatic setting is often associated with (poor) survival, rather than sustainedremission, in patients with common cancers like lung, digestive or breast carcinomas.Mathematical modeling may help us better identify non detectable metastatic status to inturn optimize treatment for patients with metastatic disease. In this paper we present afamily of models for the metastatic growth. They are based on four principles : to be assimple as possible, involving the least possible number of parameters, the maininformations are obtained from the primary tumor and being able to recover the variety ofphenomena observed by the clinicians. Several simulations of therapeutic strategies arepresented illustrating possible applications of modeling to the clinic.
