Table 6. Comparative Analysis of the Features of Different GBM Models.

Model CoD motility δ∇ ⋅ (∇I) HypD motility η∇ ⋅ (IB) GoG Angiogenesis Cell Phenotypes (Behavior)
Swanson- PI yes no no no glioma cells (proliferative and invasive)
Swanson- PIHNA yes no no yes 1. normoxic cells (proliferative/diffusive) 2. hypoxic cells (diffusive)
Dresden yes no yes yes 1. mitotic cells (proliferative) 2. migrating cells (invasive)
Two-Cell Model yes yes yes yes 1. mitotic cells (proliferative) 2. migrating cells (invasive)
Single-Cell Model yes yes no yes glioma cells (proliferative and invasive)

The table shows a summary of a few well-known mathematical models and their specific differences. The last two columns display the number of cancer cell phenotypes included in each model as well as the associated behavior of each cell phenotype.
