Recasting the cancer stem cell hypothesis: unification using a continuum model of microenvironmental forces
<b>Purpose of review</b> Here, we identify shortcomings of standard compartment-based mathematical models of cancer stem-cells, and propose a continuous formalism which includes the tumor microenvironment. <b>Recent findings</b> Stem-cell models of tumor growth have pr...
