Physical Aspects of Cancer Invasion
Caterina Guiot, Nicola Pugno, Pier Paolo Delsanto +1
Invasiveness, one of the hallmarks of tumor progression, represents the tumor's ability to expand into the host tissue by means of several complex biochemical and biomechanical pro…
Does Cancer Growth Depend on Surface Extension?
Thomas S. Deisboeck, Caterina Guiot, Pier Paolo Delsanto +1
We argue that volumetric growth dynamics of a solid cancer depend on the tumor system's overall surface extension. While this at first may seem evident, to our knowledge, so far no…
The Dynamic Evolution of the Power Exponent in a Universal Growth Model of Tumors
Caterina Guiot, Pier Paolo Delsanto, Alberto Carpinteri +2
We have previously reported that a universal growth law, as proposed by West and collaborators for all living organisms, appears to be able to describe also the growth of tumors in…
Scaling Laws in Cancer: The Dynamic Behaviour of the Power Exponent p
Caterina Guiot, Pier Paolo Delsanto, Yuri Mansury +1
We have previously reported that a 'universal' growth law with fixed scaling exponent p, as proposed by West and collaborators for all living organisms, appears to be able to descr…
Insights from a Novel Tumor Model: Indications for a Quantitative Link between Tumor Growth and Invasion
Thomas S. Deisboeck, Yuri Mansury, Caterina Guiot +2
Using our previously developed model we demonstrate here, that (1) solid tumor growth and cell invasion are linked, not only qualitatively but also quantitatively, that (2) the ons…
A Growth Model for Multicellular Tumor Spheroids
Pier Paolo Delsanto, Caterina Guiot, Piero Giorgio Degiorgis +3
Most organisms grow according to simple laws, which in principle can be derived from energy conservation and scaling arguments, critically dependent on the relation between the met…
