New formulation of the Gompertz equation to describe the kinetics of untreated tumors.

New formulation of the Gompertz equation to describe the kinetics of untreated tumors.

BACKGROUND:Different equations have been used to describe and understand the growth kinetics of undisturbed malignant solid tumors. The aim of this paper is to propose a new formulation of the Gompertz equation in terms of different parameters of a malignant tumor: the intrinsic growth rate, the dec...
