Abstract

Based upon analysis fo the mechanical fields, a framework for modeling regions of vascular collapse within central regions of a solid tumor was developed. The collapse of vessels was a critical issue in the transport of nutrients, waste products, drugs, and other biological agents within the tumor. In addition, vessel collapse was thought to contribute to the development of hypoxic and necrotic regions observed in rapidly growing tumors.
