Abstract

Cancer can be described as an open complex dynamic and self-organizing system. The stationary states of the open systems are analysed in engineering thermodynamics by entropy generation. The recent results on entropy generation are suggested as the basis of a new approach to cancer analysis in order to study the cancer evolution and new possible anticancer therapies.
