In order to disentangle the impact of different evolutionary parameters on the emergence of intra-tumour phenotypic heterogeneity and the development of resistance to chemotherapy, we construct explicit solutions to the equation for the phenotypic distribution of tumour cells and provide a detailed quantitative characterisation of the long-time asymptotic behaviour of such solutions.

Our study is based on formal asymptotic analysis and numerical simulations of a system of non-local parabolic equations that describes the phenotypic evolution of tumour cells and their nonlinear dynamic interactions with the oxygen, which is released from the intratumoural vascular network.
