6.6 Summary
This chapter developed the basic models of cancer dynamics under
the assumption of multistage progression. Topics included multiple
lines of progression and variable rates of transition between stages. The
next chapter continues to develop the theory, with emphasis on multi-
ple pathways of progression, genetic and environmental heterogeneity,
and a comparison of my models of cancer dynamics with some classical
models of aging and of chemical carcinogenesis.
