The Doubling Time, Doubling Rate & Progression Calculator can be used for the following purposes:
- Calculation of tumor marker – doubling time and doubling rate.
To calculate tumor marker – doubling time and doubling rate with the data of serial measurements of a serum tumor marker. - Calculation of tumor volume – doubling time and doubling rate
To calculate tumor volume – doubling time and doubling rate with the data of serial measurements of tumor sizes. - Estimation of time for progression
To estimate the time (T) for a tumor with a known doubling time (DT) or doubling rate (DR) of size A to grow to size B.
If you input DT or DR, A, and B, the calculator gives T. - Estimation of progression over time
To estimate the time D after a given time (T) of a tumor of size C with a known doubling time (DT) or doubling rate (DR). - If you input DT or DR, C, and T, the calculator gives D.
