Multiphase modeling of tumor growth with matrix remodeling and fibrosis
arXiv:0910.4591 · doi:10.1016/j.mcm.2010.01.015
Abstract
We present a multiphase mathematical model for tumor growth which incorporates the remodeling of the extracellular matrix and describes the formation of fibrotic tissue by tumor cells. We also detail a full qualitative analysis of the spatially homogeneous problem, and study the equilibria of the system in order to characterize the conditions under which fibrosis may occur.
