According to information at http://www.breastcancerupdate.com/bcu2003/1/norton.htm
"Gompertzian growth is exponential growth with a constant exponential regression. "
The article goes on to explain: "In the Gompertzian model, smaller tumors grow faster, so tumor regrowth between treatment cycles is more rapid when cell kill is greatest."
According to http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/96/20/1492
"Gompertz is best known for his law of mortality, which holds that growth rates of populations are exponential at early stages of development and slower at later stages. "
Thanks for asking this question. I teach bio and environmental science and I had never come across this name.
