Hybrid mathematical model of glioma progression

Objectives:  Gliomas are an important form of brain cancer, with high mortality rate. Mathematical models are often used to understand and predict their behaviour. However, using current modeling techniques one must choose between simulating individual cell behaviour and modeling tumours of clinically significant size.
