Abstract

The present work aims to propose an exact solution through split and symmetries for a model used to simulate the growth rate of cancer cells in a specific region of the human body, it also intends to study the behavior of the tumor cell concentration rate by varying the diffusion and proliferation coefficients randomly within a specified interval. The model utilized to simulate the cell
growth rate is the Swanson model, disregarding the term that follows the treatment and considering a constant diffusion coefficient per region. Attaining the exact solution of the Swanson model can aid in the treatment of specific cancer types, as implementing a more accurate model leads to a decrease in the destruction rate of healthy cells neighboring the cancerous cells.
