- Model's tumor volume curve fits experimental data
- Provides a theoretical framework for tumor growth dynamics
- Bridges epidemic models with cancer growth modeling

## Abstract

We develop a field theory-inspired stochastic model for description of tumour growth based on an analogy with an SI epidemic model, where the susceptible individuals (S) would represent the healthy cells and the infected ones (I), the cancer cells. From this model, we obtain a curve describing the tumour volume as a function of time, which can be compared to available experimental data.
