| Abstract: | The meaning and limitations of certain mathematical models of tumor growth are discussed, and some new derivations of the existing models are given. A theoretical justification for Gompertz's law of growth for tumors is presented. An age-dependent Von Bertalanffy's equation and diffusion models are introduced, and existence and uniqueness problems are addressed. |
