We propose a modification of a
previous model by Stepanova (Biophysics,
24 (1980) 917), which describes
the specific immunological response
against cancer. The model assumes
that normal cells and cancer cells
coexist in an environment as two
different species which compete
for nutrients and space. The immune
system and the tumor cells fight
against each other.
The modification consists of a sustitution
of a power law for the exponential
rate used for tumoral growth. This
modification is motivated by the
numbers of recents works confirming
that some tumour growth support
power law behavior.
