Tumor growth with nutrients: stability of the tumor patches

In this paper, we study a tumor growth model with nutrients. The contact inhibition for the tumor cells, presented in the model, results in the evolution of a congested tumor patch. We study the regularity of the tumor patch as the nutrients’ diffusion strength $D$ diminishes. In particular, we show that for small $D>0$ the boundary of the tumor patch stays in a small neighborhood of the smooth tumor patch boundary obtained with $D=0$, uniformly with respect to the Hausdorff distance.
