Abstract
This paper deals with the derivation of macroscopic equations for a class of equations modelling complex multicellular systems delivered by the kinetic theory for active particles. The analysis is focused on growing cancer tissues. A critical analysis is proposed to enlighten the technical difficulties generated by dealing with living tissues and to focus the strategy to overcome them by new mathematical approaches.
