This study is about mathematical modelling of tumour growth and how it spreads in the breast. A three-dimensional mechanically coupled reaction-diffusion model is used and two different forms of mechanical coupling are investigated and compared. Three different tumor starting positions which are centre, surface and close to the muscle and bone, in the breast are considered and results are compared.
Keywords: coupled reaction-diffusion - tumour growth and diffusion in the breast cancer.
