Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are the most common cancers. GI cancers refer to malignant conditions that are leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. But GI cancers are prevalent cancers. Application of computer technology is a useful tool for managing and surveying of incidence, survival, mortality rate of cancers and education. Virtual reality simulation is information electronic modeling technique to mimic real life. Simulation facilitates access to more accurate, up to date and comprehensive information about burden, survival, mortality and incidence rate of GI cancers by wireless technology and modeling of real conditions. Agent behavior modeling permits easier simultaneous access to genetic, pathological and clinical agents and their behaviors. Computer simulations and modeling provide insight into the mechanisms that control tumor evolution and growth and hence suggest directions for new therapies. These innovations enhance access to integrated clinical and experimental guidelines for decision making. Computer simulation facilitates learning process by large numbers of simulations of real environment. This article was presented comprehensive study about virtual simulation and cancer management.
