Mathematical models used in the fight against cancer
Cancer is an incredibly serious disease. Over a third of us will be diagnosed with some form of it in our lifetimes. Cancer has a significant impact on Icelandic society, families and individuals. Every year an average of almost 2,000 new cases are diagnosed in Iceland. Cancer research is essential in the hunt for solutions and treatments. Significant efforts have gone into developing cancer drugs and great progress has been made in recent years.
