Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite decades of research, controlling or eradicating advanced forms of the disease continues to be a challenge. Mathematical modeling offers a powerful tool for cancer research, enabling the exploration of complex processes and ”what-if” scenarios that may be inaccessible through traditional experimental or clinical methods. This mini-course will in- troduce participants to key mathematical modeling techniques used in cancer studies, emphasizing the multi-scale nature of cancer progression. We will explore models that simulate treatment effects across various biological levels—from intracellular interactions to tissue and whole-body responses, showing how mathematical models can provide quantitative insights, guide experimental design, and help distin- guish competing hypotheses, ultimately supporting the development of innovative cancer therapies.
