摘要：

A macroscopic approach to the tumor Gompertzian growth is proposed and successfully applied to the multicellular tumor spheroid data. It is based on the energetic balance among the different cell activities, related to the growth inhibitor factors. The main results can also be described by methods of statistical mechanics.
