There are several types of simulations used in cancer research:
1. Molecular Dynamics Simulations: These are used to study the interactions between molecules, such as drug binding to its target protein. 2. Cellular Automata Models: These simulate the behavior of cancer cells and their interactions with the tumor microenvironment. 3. Agent-Based Models: These simulate the actions and interactions of individual cells or molecules to predict the emergence of complex behaviors. 4. Population Dynamics Models: These are used to study cancer incidence and prevalence in populations, helping to identify risk factors and effective screening strategies.
