This collection of papers offers a broad synopsis of
state-of-the-art mathematical methods used in modeling the
interaction between tumors and the immune system. These papers were
presented at the four-day workshop on Mathematical Models of
Tumor-Immune System Dynamics held in Sydney, Australia from January
7th to January 10th, 2013. The workshop brought together applied
mathematicians, biologists, and clinicians actively working in the
field of cancer immunology to share their current research and to
increase awareness of the innovative mathematical tools that are
applicable to the growing field of cancer immunology. Recent
progress in cancer immunology and advances in immunotherapy suggest
that the immune system plays a fundamental role in host defense
against tumors and could be utilized to prevent or cure cancer.
Although theoretical and experimental studies of tumor-immune
system dynamics have a long history, there are still many
unanswered questions about the mechanisms that govern the
interaction between the immune system and a growing tumor. The
multidimensional nature of these complex interactions requires a
cross-disciplinary approach to capture more realistic dynamics of
the essential biology. The papers presented in this volume explore
these issues and the results will be of interest to graduate
students and researchers in a variety of fields within mathematical
and biological sciences.
