Chapter 2.CR, Problem 109CR

Cancer growth Cancer cells often have a diameter of about 20 microns, or 2 10 - 5 m.

a. Although cancer cells are not exactly spheres, they are close enough to spheres to make this simplification. What is the volume of a cancer cell?

b. Suppose a cancer cells doubles every day. Starting with one cancer cell, find a formula for the total volume of the cancer cells after t days?

c. Assume that a tumor of cancer cells is roughly a sphere. Also assume that about 74 % of the tumor is made up of cancerous cells, while the rest consists of blood vessels and space between the cells. How many days must pass before the single cancer cell grows to a tumor with a diameter of 1 cm 10 - 2 m ?
