We will address two aspects of solid tumour growth. Firstly, we will consider metabolic aspects of cancer spread and focus on the acid-mediated invasion hypothesis leading to the ideas of somatic evolution in a multiscale tissue model. Then we will investigate aspects of vascular tumour growth by developing a hybrid cellular automaton model which uses partial differential equations to model tissue level phenomena linked, via the cells as automaton units to intracellular dynamics modelled through ordinary differential equations.
