Abstract

Tumor growth is a complex process that requires mathematical modeling approaches for studying real-life cancer behavior. The use of cellular automata (CA) to represent tumor growth in its avascular stage is explained in this work, and a stochastic CA describing tumor growth is obtained, based on a differential equations system in the range of continuum mechanics. The novelty of this research is the deduction of the neighborhood structure and rules for a probabilistic CA from these differential equations that describe the evolution of the tumor growth. In addition, the influence of the stresses on tumor growth is captured by the CA.
