Abstract

This paper discusses the use of Fister-Panetta model in the visualisation of cancerous growths. Cancer evolution and the associated proper medication strategy is an example of such a complex problem that requires an interdisciplinary approach in order to be properly addressed. The paper addresses some basic aspects regarding how cancer research could benefit from the cooperation between mathematics and biology, describes how to model and visualize cancer tumor with recursive algorithms and Fister and Panetta pattern.
