چکیده

In this paper we study a free boundary problem modeling the growth of tumors. The model uses the conventional ideas of nutrient diffusion and consumption by the cells. We consider the radially symmetric case of this free boundary problem. We apply a spectral numerical method to the system of equations. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Two Dimensional Mathematical Model of Tumor Angiogenesis: Coupling of Avascular Growth and Vascularization

Introduction As a tumor grows, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases and it grows further if acquires the ability to induce angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present a two-dimensional continuous mathematical model for avascular tumor growth, coupled with a discrete model of angiogenesis. Materials and Methods In the avascular growth model, tumor is considered as a single mass, wh...
