A phenotype-structured model to reproduce the avascular growth of a tumor and its interaction with the surrounding environment.

Abstract excerpt

We here propose a one-dimensional spatially explicit phenotype-structured model to analyze selected aspects of avascular tumor progression. In particular, our approach distinguishes viable and necrotic cell fractions. The metabolically active part of the disease is, in turn, differentiated according to a continuous trait, that identifies cell variants with different degrees of motility and proliferation...
