Mathematical modeling is an important tool in science that allows the investigator to examine phenomena that are not easily studied by direct experiment. The growth of neoplasms and their response to treatment are processes that appear particularly well suited for study by this approach. The ready availability of inexpensive powerful microcomputers and sophisticated software makes this research avenue open to all experimental and clinical oncologists.
数学建模是科学领域的一项重要工具,它能让研究者探究那些难以通过直接实验进行研究的现象。肿瘤的生长及其对治疗的反应是特别适合用这种方法进行研究的过程。廉价而功能强大的微型计算机和复杂软件的 readily 可得,使得这条研究途径对所有实验肿瘤学家和临床肿瘤学家都开放。 (注:原文中“readily”翻译为“轻易地、便利地”等更合适,但这里直接按给定原文翻译可能存在表述稍显生硬的问题,可根据实际情况优化表述为“易于获得”之类更通顺的表达。)
