Mathematical modeling has been used throughly to describe oncological processes in the last decades. However, traslational applications of mathematical models inspired in cancer - the so-called mathematical oncology - are still in their infancy. In this talk I will describe recent progresses in mathematical models of direct clinical applicability with emphasis on gliomas: the most frequent, and lethal, type of primary brain tumors.
