Conclusion

This chapter focuses on spatio-temporal simulation of primary Glioma growth

as it is difficult to predict metastatic Glioma starting locations. Glioma growth

simulation has been accomplished using RDE with different methods in both

Diffusion part and Reaction part. Five different diffusion methods in addi-

tion to three reaction equations have been used to simulate Spatio-Temporal

state of Glioma growth. The rate and space of growth varies according to the

used methods. Brain tumor development simulator modeling will be helpful

to predict a patient’s life expectancy, project the impact of brain damage on

perception and attitude in the future, and assess the effectiveness of current

treatments.
