How Can a Mathematical Formula be Set Up for Tumor Cell Growth?

AI Thread Summary
To model the growth of tumor cells given a growth rate (m) and a death rate (n) where m is greater than n, the logistic equation can be applied. This equation describes how populations grow in a constrained environment and can effectively represent the dynamics of tumor cell populations over time. The population number P after time t can be expressed mathematically using this model. Additionally, having data from 100 patients can be beneficial for refining the model, allowing for the calibration of growth and death rates based on real-world observations, which can enhance the accuracy of predictions regarding tumor growth.

If a tumor cell grows with rate m, and dies with rate n (m>n), their population number is P, after tme t, how can set up a mathematical fomuler for growth ? If i also have data from 100 patients, is it useful ?
Thanks
