Response of the tumour growth predictions to variations in the apoptosis rate ωa. For small values of the apoptosis rate, the tumour growth is governed by the interaction between the proliferation and degradation rates. Sufficiently large apoptosis rates can prevent tumour growth from being initiated. This demonstrates a physiological mechanism to prevent tumour growth and development. Values for the apoptosis rate are given in units of 1/day.
