Mathematical and Computational Oncology Third International Symposium, ISMCO 2021, Virtual Event, October 11–13, 2021, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Mathematical and Computational Oncology, ISMCO 2021, held in October 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.

The 3 full papers and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: statistical and machine learning methods for cancer research; mathematical modeling for cancer research; spatio-temporal tumor modeling and simulation; general cancer computational biology; mathematical modeling for cancer research; computational methods for anticancer drug development.
