Numerical values for the parameters in (1) and (9) used in our simulations. In addition to the values shown, we use in the dimensionful equations D1 = 0.32 mm2/day for lung cancer and D1 = 0.46 mm2/day for melanoma, ρ = 0.35 day−1 for both melanoma and lung cancer (see Section 3.1), and a threshold for the detectability of tumor cells cth = 0.09 [22]. As explained in the main text we have and . The effectiveness of chemotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy are parameterized by and for lung cancer, and by and for melanoma (see Section 3.1).
