In most instances, tumors have to push their surroundings in order to grow. Thus, during their development, tumors must be able to both exert and sustain mechanical stresses. Using a novel experimental procedure, we study quantitatively the effect of an applied mechanical stress on the long-term growth of a spherical cell aggregate. Our results indicate the possibility to modulate tumor growth depending on the applied pressure. Moreover, we demonstrate quantitatively that the cells located in the core of the spheroid display a different response to stress than those in the periphery. We compare the results to a simple numerical model developed for describing the role of mechanics in cancer progression.
