Zusammenfassung:Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. It is a complex and multifaceted disease that has challenged researchers and doctors for decades. The ability to visualize and understand tumor growth can provide valuable insights into how cancer develops and spreads, leading to significant improvements in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The three-dimensional tumor growth simulation tool that is being developed is an important step in this direction. It allows for detailed visualization of tumor growth in different parts of the human body, which can provide valuable insights into how cancer develops and spreads. Additionally, the ability of this tool to simulate tumor growth in different parts of the body means that it can be used to study a wide range of cancer types. This tool utilizes a cellular automaton and a small-world network to create connections between cells, allowing for a more accurate representation of organ and tumor structures. Furthermore, it allows for the loading of configurations and parameters from external files, providing great flexibility to the tool and allowing for customization of the simulation to the specific needs of each case. For 3D rendering, the Marching Cubes technique is used, which enables detailed and accurate three-dimensional representation of tumors.
