摘要
Theoretical and empirical arguments are used to support the growth kinetics of disseminated tumors. Employing viable hypotheses, it is established that Gompertzian growth of disseminated cancer cells can be derived from a number of theoretical considerations. Empirical methods are used to validate and confirm the theoretical assertions with the use of available data. (C) 2000 Society for Mathematical Biology.
