1 Mathematical models of tumor growth and radiation response Yoichi Watanabe, Ph.D. Department of Radiation Oncology University of Minnesota North Central Chapter of AAPM Meeting, Wisconsin Dells, WI April 7 th, 2017
2 Learning objectives 1. To learn the mathematical models of tumor growth and its response to radiation. 2. To get insight on the applicability of simple models to clinical cases. 3. To brainstorm for future research by asking questions about simple biological models.
3 What is the goal of the study? Metastatic brain tumor Tumor Volume [cm^3] Gamma Knife SRS Time [Days]
4 Aim To find simple but fundamental equations, which can reproduce and predict the change of tumor volume before and after single fraction of high dose radiotherapy.
5 Biological model 1. Tumor volume increases with a growth rate. 2. The growth rate is proportional to the ratio of the vasculature and tumor volume. 3. Single fraction irradiation with a short pulse, or the duration much shorter than 1 day. 4. After irradiation, cells inside the tumor volume are composed of two components. 5. The two components are 1) Dividing cells (may eventually stop dividing.) 2) Non-dividing cells 5. Only dead cells are removed from the tumor with a constant clearance rate. 6. The visible tumor volume (by eyes or contrast-enhanced MRI) is made of two components.
6 How dose the volume of tumor change in time? G.W. Barendsen, J.J. Broerse, "Experimental radiotherapy of a rat rhabdomyosarcoma with 15 MeV neutrons and 300 kv x-rays. I. Effects of single exposures," European journal of cancer 5, (1969). Tumor grows exponentially up to 1 cm 3. Volume doubling time is about 4 days. The growth rate slows down when the volume > 1 cm 3. Tumor growth is not exponential.
7 A model of tumor growth Tumor cells divide in a doubling time T d. All cancer cells have the same volume (about 10-9 cm 3 ). The tumor volume is proportional to the number of cells. To proliferate/or divide, cells need energy and material. Blood carries these. Hypothesis I: The volume of blood in a tumor increases slower than the tumor.
8 The growth formula The growth rate, t, is proportional to the ratio of the blood (or vascular) volume V v and tumor volume V T. = 2 θ 1 1 : Tumor growth retardation factor A solution of (1) and (2) is a classic Gompertzian growth: 0 1 1
9 Cell population model: Two populations (could be more than 2) One time of Dose, D Y. Watanabe, E.L. Dahlman, K.Z. Leder, S.K. Hui, Theoretical biology & medical modelling 13, 6 (2016).
10 How do cells die? Lysis Necrosis Radiation damage (secondary necrosis) p53 impaired (Programmed cell death) Apoptosis Senescence (Permanent cell cycle arrest) Mitotic catastrophe pyknosis/karyopyknosis cell shrinkage internucleosomal breakage of chromatin, enlarged/flattened metabolically active delayed apoptosis D. Eriksson, T. Stigbrand, Tumour Biol 31, (2010).
11 Lethally damaged cells divide! Monte Carlo simulation of cell proliferation after irradiation. 6 cycles 2 6 =64 Y. Watanabe, E. Dahlman, "SU-E-J-65: Evaluation of a Radiation- Induced Cell Proliferation Probability Formula Using Monte Carlo Simulation," Medical physics 41, (2014). The number of cells, N, keeps increasing without irradiation. For 10 Gy, one cell becomes up to 48 cells before they die. 6 divisions. For 20 Gy, one cell becomes up to divisions.
12 Modelling radiation effects Single dosage of radiation, D, gives permanent damage to a fraction of cancer cells. Those doomed cells divide a few more times before the death for a time period rad Radiation induced death term is The death rate g is proportional to
13 Traditional radiation effect model (Model A) The cancer cells are instantly killed at the time of irradiation. The fraction of the cell death is After irradiation at time t, the tumor volume decreases and the dead cells increases suddenly.
14 Clearance of dead cells Assume the dead cells are cleared from the original site with a mean clearance time T C. Cells dying due to mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis disintegrate and are swept away. Cells which died by the necrosis and senescence are trapped and might stay at the original location.
15 Basic equations The tumor volume observed on the image is V T + V ND. The cell proliferation rate is modified by the dose and the tumor and vascular volumes.
16 Solution methods: Parameter optimization 1. Forward method: solve the ODEs for given model parameters. 2. Inverse solution (i.e., the least square fitting) to obtain the best fit between the model and the data by simulated annealing. = a vector containing the model parameters: {, T d (0), T C }
17 Rat Rabdomyosarcoma G.W. Barendsen, J.J. Broerse, European journal of cancer 5, (1969).
18 Model parameters used for rat experiments Parameter\ Case Unit Control Gy Dose Gy T d (0) days T cl days S (++) 1.00E E E E E-03 Initial volume = cm 3, =10 Gy, active radiation-effect time rad = 8 days, cell cycle time T cc = 1 day, colony counting time T m = 10 days. (++) S is the fraction of surviving cells after irradiation. It shows the degree of cell kill by radiation.
19 Gamma Knife: metastatic cancers A. Cells die instantly by radiation. B. Delayed death Radiation response types CR: complete response PR: partial response SD: stable disease PD: progressive disease

22 Model parameters used for Gamma Knife Clinical case number Parameters Unit /Gy Tumor doubling time T d (0) days Cell clearance time T cl days Retardation factor No dim Mean dose Gy Initial volume cm^ Irradiation day for GKSRS day Tumor volume at GKSRS cm^ Tumor doubling time at GKSRS days Volume ratio, R (**) % Cell survival fraction (*) In all cases, / = 10, rad = 8 days, T CC = 1 day, and T m = 10 days. (**) R 40 = the ration of the volume on the 40 th day after GKSRS and the volume at GKSRS.
23 Can the model parameters predict the outcome? Correlation of model parameters and R 40 Predictor T d (GKSRS) V T (GKSRS) D mean (**) P-value: linear P-value: 2 nd order (**) D mean is the mean dose delivered to the tumor for GKSRS.
24 Questions 1) Why is the tumor volume growth rate not constant? 2) How is the tumor volume related to the number of cancer cells? 3) How many times does the damaged cell divide after irradiation? 4) What cells are in the T1w Contrast enhance MRI image? 5) What is the effect of other treatment? 6) What is the mechanism for clearance of dead cells? 7) Do the non-damaged cells grow at the same rate under the effect of irradiation? 8) What fraction of tumor cells must die to observe clinically the local control of the tumor?

27 Predicting long term response from short term observation Z. Huang, et al, Cancer research 70, (2010). R = the tumor volume decreases with a half life of T 1/2 S = intact cells after treatment with the doubling time T d after the onset time T k.
28 3D model of brain tumor response to standard fractionated RT R. Rockne, et al., Phys Med Biol 55, (2010). One population Instant cell death Fractionated RT Cell proliferation rate prior to RT predicts.
29 Conclusions Mathematical modelling requires deeper understanding of biological processes. Model parameters can be used as therapy response predictors.
