Available online xxxx Keywords: Tumor growth Gompertz model Non-linear observer Non-linear systems discretization abstract Cancer represents one of the most challenging issues for the biomedical research, due its large impact on the public health state. For this reason, many mathematical methods have been proposed to forecast the time evolution of cancer size and invasion. In this paper, we study how to apply the Gompertz’s model to describe the growth of an avascular tumor in a realistic
