Resumen:
Simulations of avascular cancer growth are performed using experimental values of the relevant parameters.
This permits a realistic assessment of the influence of these parameters on cancer growth dynamics. In general,
an early exponential growth phase is followed by a linear regime (as observed in recent experiments), while the
thickness of the viable cell layer remains approximately constant. Contrary to some predictions, a transition to
latency is not observed.
