Mathematical Model of the Effect of Interstitial Fluid Pressure on Angiogenic Behavior in Solid Tumors

Figure 2

Comparing nondimensionalized proangiogenic (solid) and antiangiogenic (dashed) growth factor concentrations (Figure 2(a)) and angiogenic activity (Figure 2(b)) for the model without convection ( 𝑢 = 0 ) and with convection ( 𝛼 𝑡 = 1 4 , 𝛼 = 2 ). With the addition of convection, the area of angiogenic stimulation is larger and more pronounced.
