โœฆ Synopsis

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.

Most previous models of populations mixed for reproductive mode have omitted important local interactions between sexual and asexual individuals. We propose a cellular automaton model where local rules focus on fertilization and colonization. This model produces rich sets of data which are then stud
