Maths Fights Cancer
Filed under: 
Scientists from Spain have published influential work on tumour cells growth. The study is backed by a successful trial on humans and it appears as if mathematics will show the way to preventing and curing cancer one day. Also see a less technical dissection of this study.
In a previous paper, these researchers reported that tumor growth, rather than being exponential as commonly believed, is a much slower “linear” process similar to the growth of certain crystals and other natural phenomena.
Our family, like many others, has had a painful loss to cancer.
