摘要
Avascular tumor growth model for multicellular spheroids is considered The model is a moving boundary problem and consists of three types of cells The governing equations arc nonlinear hyperbolic and/or parabolic differential equations Comparisons of the numerical solutions with the solution of the recent studies ale done The effect of the necrotic region on the tumor growth is discussed (C) 2009 IMACS Published by Elsevier B V All rights reserved
