Malignant tumours: CANCER
Generic name for a malignant epithelial (solid) tumouris a CARCINOMA (Greek: Karkinos, a crab). Irregular, jagged shape often assumed due to localspread of carcinoma.

Solid Tumours
• Avascular solid tumours are small spherical masses of cancer cells
• Observed cellular heterogeneity (mitotic activity) on the surface and in interior (multiple necrotic cores)
• Cancer cells secrete both growth inhibitory chemicals and growth activating chemicals in an autocrine manner:-
• TGF-β (-ve) • EGF, TGF-α, bFGF, PDGF, IGF, IL-1α, G-CSF (+ve)• TNF-α (+/-)
• Experimentally observed interaction (+ve, -ve feedback) between several of the growth factors in many different types of cancer
![Page 26: Mark Chaplain, The SIMBIOS Centre, Department of Mathematics, University of Dundee, Dundee, DD1 4HN. Mathematical modelling of solid tumour growth: Applications](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110323/56649d805503460f94a64002/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Biological model hypotheses
• radially symmetric solid tumour, radius r = R
• thin layer of live, proliferating cells surrounding a necrotic core
• live cells produce and secrete growth factors (inhibitory/activating) which react and diffuse on surface of solid spherical tumour
• growth factors set up a spatially heterogeneous pre-pattern (chemical diffusion time-scale much faster than tumour growth time scale)
• local “hot spots” of growth activating and growth inhibiting chemicals
• live cells on tumour surface respond proliferatively (+/–) to distribution of growth factors

• Identification of a number of genuine autocrine growth factors
• practical application of Turing pre-pattern theory (50 years on….!)
• heterogeneous cell proliferation pattern linked to underlying growth-factor pre-pattern irregular invasion of tissue
• “robustness” is not a problem; each patient has a “different” cancer;
• growing domain formulation
• clinical implication for regulation of local tissue invasion via growth-factor concentration level manipulation
