Short description
The paper describes a spatio-temporal mathematical model, in the form of a moving boundary problem, to explain cancer dormancy is developed. Created by COPASI 4.24 (Build 197) Abstract: A spatio-temporal mathematical model, in the form of a moving boundary problem, to explain cancer dormancy is developed. Analysis of the model is carried out for both temporal and spatio-temporal cases. Stability analysis and numerical simulations of the temporal model replicate experimental observations of immune-induced tumour dormancy. Travelling wave solutions of the spatio-temporal model are determined using the hyperbolic tangent method and minimum wave speeds of invasion are calculated. Travelling wave analysis depicts that cell invasion dynamics are mainly driven by their motion and growth rates. A stability analysis of the spatio-temporal model shows a possibility of dynamical stabilization of the tumour-free steady state. Simulation results reveal that the tumour swells to a dormant level.

Curator's comment:
(added: 06 Sep 2019, 17:19:19, updated: 06 Sep 2019, 17:19:19)
There are some errors in the figures in the original publications. I have confirmed with the author and the first figure is what the corrected figure 2 produced using MATLAB. The second figure was produced using COPASI 4.24, setting the time to be 10. There is a correction in the parameters, sigma_1 should be 0.3, with the confirmation of the author. sigma_1 being in 0-1 would give stable solutions.
