摘要
A cellular automaton model describing immune system surveillance against cancer is furnished. In formulating the model, we have taken into account the microscopic mechanisms of cancerous growth, such as the proliferation of cancer cells, the cytotoxic behaviors of the immune system, the mechanical pressure inside the tumor and so forth. The model may describe the Gompertz growth of a cancer. The results are in agreement with experimental observations. The influences of the proliferation rate of cancer cells, the cytotoxic rate and other relevant factors affecting the Gompertz growth are studied. © 1993 by Academic Press.
