On tumor development: fractional transport approach
arXiv:q-bio/0406001
Abstract
A growth of malignant neoplasm is considered as a fractional transport approach. We suggested that the main process of the tumor development through a lymphatic net is fractional transport of cells. In the framework of this fractional kinetics we were able to show that the mean size of main growth is due to subdiffusion, while the appearance of metaphases is determined by superdiffusion.
