Mathematical models based on differential equations, individual-based or partial differential equations are built to describe different processes of relevance in cancer research. We study their theoretical properties (existence of traveling wave solutions, asymptotic behavior, etc.) to understand their potential utility and applicability to the description of the processes involved. We also use the models as in-silico test-bench systems mimicking real tumor behavior.
