Popis: The purpose of this work is to study the peculiarities of external influence, namely osmotic pressure, on cancer cells. Methods. For this purpose, spatially distributed systems describing the dynamics of a three-dimensional cell lattice, a cell spheroid, and a cell surface have been considered. The studied models are based on the basic principles of hydrodynamics, and their numerical simulation has been performed using a modified Euler method. Results. The paper proposes three-dimensional models to study the dynamics of cancer cells in the epidermal layer of the skin; the models include the possibility of adding additional pressure and changing it with a single parameter. It is shown that it is possible to achieve a slowdown of cancer cell growth in all considered models at certain values of osmotic pressure.
