Fractal Shape of Cancer Tumor Growth

Nanobacteria possess unusual properties, making their detection difficult with standard microbiological methods. Scientists interested in nanoparticles, their origin, activity, and biological toxicity. The large number of publications on nanomaterials are in a wide range of fields, including chemistry, physics, materials engineering, biology, medicine, and electronics. Very small particles, so-called nanoparticles, have the ability to damage living organisms. This ability results primarily from their small size, which allows them to penetrate and travel within the circulatory systems of a host. We inhale them with every breath, and consume them with every drink. Nanobacteria play an important role in many chronic diseases where infectious pathogens have not been suspected. In this study, we have shown nanobacteria can act as crystallization centers for the formation of cluster structures. At high concentrations, nanoparticles tend to cluster, forming aggregates. Nanoparticles usually form atmospheric fractal-like dendritic aggregates. We have simulated the nanobactria growth based on epidemic model by Monte Carlo method. The result figures are fractal. We have compared these figures with brain and womb cancer tumor images. Fractal dimension has been found out by box counting method. Calculation of fractal dimension shows the same dimension for simulation results and cancer tumors for scales 100< R < 1000. It means that we can categorize cancer tumors regard of their statistical properties such as fractal dimension. Nanoparticles are generally classified based on their dimensionality, morphology, composition, uniformity, and agglomeration. There are significant common fractal aspects between our simulation results and cancer tumor images.
