Cancer development and progression is the result of biological phenomena that occur across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Recent years have seen a flurry of multi-scale mathematical models developed to generate and test new biological hypotheses related to cancer development, progression, and various treatment approaches. This has led to the development of new computational and analytical approaches aimed at investigating these multi-scale models.This review volume summarises the state of the art related to the modelling, experimental investigation, and data assimilation of multi-scale phenomena during cancer development, evolution, and treatment, as well as the computational and analytical investigation of the multi-scale models developed to reproduce the biological phenomena. The book also identifies the experimental and theoretical open problems that will have to be addressed in the near future in order to advance this field. Modelling and Computational Approaches for Multi-Scale Phenomena in Cancer Research is an excellent resource for both early career and advanced researchers.

This book focuses on the spatio-temporal patterns generated by two classes of mathematical models (of hyperbolic and kinetic types) that have been increasingly used in the past several years to describe various biological and ecological communities.
