Base case with vessel shutdown: vessel volume per viable tumor volume is non-monotone, reflecting a rapid increase in the vascular network at early times to a maximum within a month, and then a slow decrease as the tumor mass fragments, gaining further access to nutrient in the vascularized host tissue surrounding the tumor. Periodic sharp decreases reflect the effects of vessel shutdown with consequent viable tissue loss.
