Diet and Colon Cancer: A Tutorial and Model


The colon cancer tutorial contains a model based on probabilities obtained from nutritional epidemiology.   You can open it and run it with different choices of diet and activity using STELLA 6.0 from High Performance Systems, Inc.

This is a complex model with a number of attached images.  The images work best if all are put into a single folder that also contains the model, because STELLA looks for an image folder when it opens.  If you have problems with this model, please contact jhargrov@fcs.uga.edu.

Download the Simulation Model (PC users):

Colon Cancer Model - Learn about the transformation of colon epithelial cells through four stages of malignancy, and test the effects of risk reduction by changing diet and activity.

STELLA models can usually be changed between PC and Macintosh by adding (PC) or deleting (Mac) the ".stm" suffix.
