\section{Math}   \hspace{20 mm}Tumors were modeled as a random walk. A random walk is a mathematical formalization of a path that consists of a succession of random steps [CITE]. Random walks consist of a set of an infinite number of independent, random variables $Z_{1}...Z_{n}$, each corresponding to a value of either $1$ or $-1$ and equally likely to occur ($p=0.5$). Thus, the "random walk" $S_{n}$  of $n$ number of steps is described by the following equation: \begin{equation}  S_{n} = \sideset{}{}\sum_{i=1}^{n}Z_{i}  \end{equation}
