MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF TUMOR-IMMUNE SYSTEM DYNA...

This collection of papers offers a broad synopsis of state-of-the-art mathematical methods used
in modeling the interaction between tumors and the immune system. These papers were presented
at the four-day workshop on Mathematical Models of Tumor-Immune System Dynamics held in Sydney
Australia from January 7th to January 10th  2013. The workshop brought together applied
mathematicians  biologists  and clinicians actively working in the field of cancer immunology
to share their current research and to increase awareness of the innovative mathematical tools
that are applicable to the growing field of cancer immunology.Recent progress in cancer
immunology and advances in immunotherapy suggest that the immune system plays a fundamental
role in host defense against tumors and could be utilized to prevent or cure cancer. Although
theoretical and experimental studies of tumor-immune system dynamics have a long history  there
are still many unanswered questions about the mechanisms that govern the interaction between
the immune system and a growing tumor. The multidimensional nature of these complex
interactions requires a cross-disciplinary approach to capture more realistic dynamics of the
essential biology. The papers presented in this volume explore these issues and the results
will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in a variety of fields within
mathematical and biological sciences.
