Biological inferences from a mathematical model of comedo ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.

The growth of a tumour in a duct is examined in order to model ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, the earliest known stage of breast cancer. Interactions between the expansive forces created by tumour cell proliferation and the stresses that develop in the compliant basement membrane are...
