  bibo_abstract:
  - Tumor growth is caused by the acquisition of driver mutations, which enhance the
    net reproductive rate of cells. Driver mutations may increase cell division, reduce
    cell death, or allow cells to overcome density-limiting effects. We study the
    dynamics of tumor growth as one additional driver mutation is acquired. Our models
    are based on two-type branching processes that terminate in either tumor disappearance
    or tumor detection. In our first model, both cell types grow exponentially, with
    a faster rate for cells carrying the additional driver. We find that the additional
    driver mutation does not affect the survival probability of the lesion, but can
    substantially reduce the time to reach the detectable size if the lesion is slow
    growing. In our second model, cells lacking the additional driver cannot exceed
    a fixed carrying capacity, due to density limitations. In this case, the time
    to detection depends strongly on this carrying capacity. Our model provides a
    quantitative framework for studying tumor dynamics during different stages of
    progression. We observe that early, small lesions need additional drivers, while
    late stage metastases are only marginally affected by them. These results help
    to explain why additional driver mutations are typically not detected in fast-growing
    metastases.@eng
