Abstract
In this paper a discrete planar model of the tumour growth is presented. The model is based on hybrid cellular automaton and describes the tumour in a homogeneous tissue. The tissue consists of healthy cells and can have irregular vasculature. The model simulates proliferation processes and necrotic cells appearance which depends on the oxygen supply. There exists a stable solution, which may be used as an approximation of the tissue. Described HCA model can be extended with angiogenesis, nutrients and factors fields.
