Abstract

We present an agent-based model of head and neck cancer cell population dynamics that investigates the effect of cooperative interactions between individual cancer cells during the course of cytotoxic drug treatment. A model of cooperative behavior based on the Lotka-Volterra competition equations is combined with a model of drug resistance and response. Predictions regarding the individual and combination effects of cooperation and drug treatment qualitatively match experimental observations from the literature.
