Computational study of vascular tumour growth in situ
In the present paper the model of vascular tumour growth is presented in its
non-invasive in situ stage. The model based on the partial differential equations
takes into account the position of vascular network as well as the position and
impact of basement membrane that forms the outer physical barrier to the tumour
growth. A series of numerical methods was applied in order to find the solution of
the presented model.
