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
Thanks

The ratio m, n in cancer cells refers to the proportion of two types of cells within a tumor: the malignant (m) cells and the non-cancerous (n) cells. This ratio is often used to determine the aggressiveness and growth potential of a tumor.
The ratio m, n is typically measured by examining a tissue sample from the tumor under a microscope and counting the number of malignant and non-cancerous cells present. This can also be determined through imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans.
The ratio m, n is often used as an indicator of cancer progression. In general, a higher ratio of m, n indicates a more aggressive and rapidly growing tumor, while a lower ratio may suggest a slower growth rate and potentially better prognosis.
Yes, the ratio m, n can change over time in cancer cells. This can be due to factors such as treatment, genetic mutations, and the body's immune response. Regular monitoring of the ratio m, n can help track the progression of cancer and guide treatment decisions.
Yes, in addition to the growth and aggressiveness of the tumor, the ratio m, n can also be influenced by the type and location of the cancer, as well as the overall health of the individual. Additionally, some types of cancer may have a more complex ratio with multiple types of cells present.
