Abstract

Evolutionary game theory applications are widely used to simulation of tumor processes. Inter-cellular interactions that occur among tumor population are good examples of biological evolutionary games for site and recourses. Presented extended model considers four strategies (phenotypes) that can arise by mutations: cells that produce harming substances to gain advantage, cells resistant to these substances, cells that produce growth factor which affects any other cell-kinds and neutral cells. Different equilibrium points, scenarios and possible extensions are also discussed.
