Short description
<notes xmlns="http://www.sbml.org/sbml/level2/version4"> <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Background Cancer is one of the leading causes for the morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although substantial studies have been conducted theoretically and experimentally in recent years, it is still a challenge to explore the mechanisms of cancer initiation and progression. The investigation for these problems is very important for the diagnosis of cancer diseases and development of treatment schemes. Results To accurately describe the process of cancer initiation, we propose a new concept of gene initial mutation rate based on our recently designed mathematical model using the non-constant mutation rate. Unlike the widely-used average gene mutation rate that depends on the number of mutations, the gene initial mutation rate can be used to describe the initiation process of a single patient. In addition, we propose the instantaneous tumour doubling time that is a continuous function of time based on the non-constant mutation rate. Our proposed concepts are supported by the clinic data of seven patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The regression results suggest that, compared with the average mutation rate, the estimated initial mutation rate has a larger value of correlation coefficient with the patient survival time. We also provide the estimated tumour size of these seven patients over time. Conclusions The proposed concepts can be used to describe the cancer initiation and progression for different patients more accurately. Since a quantitative understanding of cancer progression is important for clinical treatment, our proposed model and calculated results may provide insights into the development of treatment schemes and also have other clinic implications.</p> </body> </notes>

Curator's comment:
(added: 28 Feb 2020, 14:15:46, updated: 28 Feb 2020, 14:15:46)
The figures that have been reproduced from the curated model we had to change the parameter ( a ) from 0.000001 into 0.001 to be able to reproduce the figures. Figure 1 represent patients 2 and 8 in a constant ( b=0) and non-constant rate parameter ( b = 0.00003) Figure 3 represent the Tumour Doubling time of the model ( DB) and the Tumour doubling time for each patient ( DT_P(1-7))
