We propose a mechanism for prostate cancer cell lines growth, e.g.,
LNCaP and PC3 based on a Gompertz dynamics. This growth exhibits a
multifractal behavior and a "second order" phase transition. Finally, it
was found that the cellular line PC3 exhibits a higher value the
entropy production rate compared to LNCaP, which is indicative of the
robustness of PC3, over to LNCaP and may be a quantitative index of
metastatic potential tumors.
