    "abstract": "A general model for the ontogenetic growth of living organisms has been\nrecently proposed. Here we investigate the extension of this model to the\ngrowth of solid malignant tumors. A variety of in vitro and in vivo data are\nanalyzed and compared with the prediction of a \u0027universal\u0027 law, relating\nproperly rescaled tumor masses and tumor growth times. The results support the\nnotion that tumor growth follows such a universal law. Several important\nimplications of this finding are discussed, including its relevance for tumor\nmetastasis and recurrence, cell turnover rates, angiogenesis and invasion.",
