Abstract
We introduce a new Monte Carlo model for avascular tumor growth. The model is intended
to be as realistic as possible and is cell based model. We have developed a twodimensional
lattice Monte Carlo model. The model is complemented by key features such
as the explicit presence of nutrient diffusion and consumption, cell growth, cell division
and cell death, and the cell-cell interaction. Tuning the parameters of the model can lead
to the growth of different tumor morphologies, and can lead to different growth dynamics
