Abstract

In vitro tests are very powerful methods to assess the carcinogenic effects of different substances and to study the initial phases of tumor development. A CA model of the formation of transformation foci in cell cultures which are exposed to a carcinogen is presented here, based on known facts about carcinogenesis and about reasonable assumptions, which gives rise to a cell growth dynamics similar to the one experimentally observed. The model can be used to test formal hypotheses about different interfering phenomena and about their relative strength
