Model results for simulating 180 days of tumor growth initiated by one cancer stem cell. Naïve (blue curve) and improved (red) code simulate comparable tumor growth dynamics with similar non-stem cancer cell (a) and cancer stem cell (b) numbers; (c) Average simulation times and standard deviations; (d) Distribution of vacant lattice sites in cell neighborhood at final simulation time point; (e) Evolution of average lattice size in the improved code. Initial lattice size 50 × 50, final lattice size 550 × 550. Shown are averages (standard deviations omitted in most panels for clarity) for N = 100 (improved code) and N = 77 (naïve) independent simulations.
