12 Mathematical Biomedicine and Modeling Avascular Tumor Growth
In this chapter we review existing continuum models of avascular tumor growth, explaining how they are inter-related and the biophysical insight that they provide.The models range in complexity and include one-dimensional studies of radiallysymmetric growth, and two-dimensional models of tumor invasion in which the tumor is assumed to comprise a …
