β¦ Synopsis
Many solid tumour growth models are formulated es systems of parabolic and/or hyperbolic equations. Here an alternative, two-phase theory is developed to describe solid tumour growth.
Versions of earlier models are recovered when suitable limits of the new model are taken. We contend that the multiphase approach represents a more general, and natural, modelling framework for studying solid tumour growth than existing theories.

This article proposes a stochastic growth model that starts as a Yule process and is subsequently joined with a Prendiville process when the population attains certain prescribed critical size. In other words, the model assumes a exponential growth in an early stage and logistic growth later on to r
