Mathematical modelling of prostate cancer growth and its application to hormone therapy

Abstract: Hormone therapy in the form of androgen deprivation is a major treatment for advanced prostate cancer. However, if such therapy is overly prolonged, tumour cells may become resistant to this treatment and result in recurrent fatal disease. Long-term hormone deprivation also is associated with side effects poorly tolerated by patients. In contrast, intermittent hormone therapy with alternating on-and off-treatment periods is a possible clinical strategy to delay progression to hormone-refractory disease with th… Show more

“…[14][15][16][17][18][19] The model of Hirata et al 17 reproduces the actual quantitative changes in the tumor marker, prostate specific antigen ͑PSA͒. With this model, we were able to approximate conditions for both averting and delaying relapse, but we did not obtain the optimal scheduling of the on-and off-treatment periods of IAS.…”

“…To avoid this separation of models and to be able to describe the effects of treatments on a long period of time, hybrid models using switches have been developed. The model by Tanaka et al (2010) [35] integrates in this way the alternation of on and off treatment phases on a continuous model of tumour growth dynamics involving different cell types. The model gives insights to specifically treat prostate cancer.…”

“…At present, there are no effective therapies available for curing or controlling the androgen-independent stage of prostate cancer, due to the high rate of apoptosis resistance. The primary therapeutic modalities used to treat prostate cancer are surgery, radiation and hormone therapy (3,4). These modalities have been demonstrated to have certain curative effects on early-stage prostate cancer; however, they have various limitations, including injury to the surrounding normal tissues, drug resistance and tumor recurrence (4)(5)(6).…”
