Abstract

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear cancer invasion mathematical model with proliferation, growth and haptotaxis effects. We obtain lower bounds for the finite-time blow-up of solutions of the considered system with nonlinear diffusion operator when blow-up occurs. We have assumed both the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions in \({\mathbb {R}}^n, n\ge 2\) to attain the desire result.
