T-cell mediated immunotherapy for malignant diseases has become an effective treatment option, especially in malignant melanoma. Recent advances have enabled the transfer of high T-cell numbers with high functionality. However, with more T cells becoming technically available for transfer, questions about dose, treatment schedule, and safety become most relevant. Mathematical oncology can simulate tumor characteristics in silico and predict the tumor response to novel therapeutics. Using similar ...[more]
