   Abstract:
   A theoretical model was used to study the factors that contribute to the heterogeneous distribution of tissue pressure of oxygen (PO₂) and the occurrence of hypoxic regions in tumors. A Green=s function method was used to predict the distribution of PO₂. For purpose of comparison, further calculations were performed in which all vessels were assumed to be at the same PO₂, and in which a simple Krogh cylinder model was assumed, with the same vascular density as the simulated region. Finally, the resulting data was analyzed.
