Mathematical modelling of avascular-tumour growth.

A system of nonlinear partial differential equations is proposed as a model for the growth of an avascular-tumour spheroid. The model assumes a continuum of cells in two states, living or dead, and, depending on the concentration of a generic nutrient, the live cells may reproduce (expanding the tumour) or die (causing contraction). These volume changes resulting from cell birth and death gener...

Mathematical Modelling of the Effects of Mitotic Inhibitors on Avascular Tumour Growth

In this paper we build on the mathematical model of Ward and King (1998) to study the effects of high molecular mass mitotic inhibitors released at cell death. The model assumes a continuum of living cells which, depending on the concentration of a generic nutrient, generate movement (described by a velocity field) due to the changes in volumes caused by cell birth and death. The necrotic mater...

A new mathematical model for avascular tumour growth.

The early development of solid tumours has been extensively studied, both experimentally via the multicellular spheroid assay, and theoretically using mathematical modelling. The vast majority of previous models apply specifically to multicell spheroids, which have a characteristic structure of a proliferating rim and a necrotic core, separated by a band of quiescent cells. Many previous models...

Modelling The Effect of Cell Shedding on Avascular Tumour Growth

Earlier mathematical models of the authors which describe avascular tumour growth are extended to incorporate the process of cell shedding, a feature known to affect the growth of rnulticell spheroids. A continuum of live cells is assumed within which. depending on the concentration of a generic nutrient, movement (described by a velocity field) occurs due to volume changes caused by cell birth...

Mathematical modelling of tumour acidity.

Acid-mediated tumour invasion is receiving increasing experimental and clinical attention. Previous models proposed to describe this phenomenon failed to capture key properties of the system, such as the existence of the benign steady state, or predicted incorrectly the size of the inter-tissue gap. Here we show that taking proper account of quiescence ameliorates these drawbacks as well as rev...
