The communication deals with several mathematical modelling methods which can be used to study the growth and development of solid tumor masses at the macroscopic level. General physical and mathematical principles are applied in order to devise models which are able to describe the processes of avascular growth, angiogenesis, vascular growth and tumour-environment interactions.
