The purpose of this paper is to study the prediction model of tumor growth non-vascularized lung cancer (first stage of cancer) before and during chemotherapeutic treatment. This model will be represented by a differential equations system, which will describe, among other things, tumor volume and proliferating cells. Finally, all the numerical results presented in this paper have been implemented in Scilab.
