Total number of cancer cells inside a tumor: 100
Each cell has a 10% chance of dying each time it divides
The rate at which a cell leaves the mass is 1 every 8 hours
The rate of division is 1 division / 2 hours
whats the time needed to attain the 100 cells in the first place?
What is the function that I could put in excel or MATLAB to figure this out quickly?
Not very good with coming up with the function.
I have the following:
0hrs x0 = 100
2hrs x1 = x0*0.90+x0
4hrs x2 = x1*0.90+x1
6hrs x3 = x2*0.90+x2
8hrs x4 = x3*0.90-1+x3
Thanks
