Tumors do not always grow exponentially forever.
Gompertzian growth describes fast early growth that slows over time as the lesion becomes larger and biologically constrained.
Click through speech and thought bubbles to learn how Gompertzian tumor growth differs from simple exponential growth in the CT follow-up of pulmonary nodules.
