Abstract
We present a simple mathematical model of the development and progression of breast cancer based on evolutionary game theory. Four types of cellular populations are considered: stromal (native) cells, macrophages, benign tumor cells, and motile (malignant) tumor cells. Despite the relative simplicity of the model, it provides a way to explore the interactions between the various cell types and suggests potential approaches to managing and treating cancer.
