## Abstract

We investigate noise-induced pattern formation in a model of cancer growth based on Michaelis-Menten kinetics, subject to additive and multiplicative noises. We analyse stability properties of the system and discuss the role of diffusion and noises in the system's dynamics. We find that random dichotomous fluctuations in the immune response intensity along with Gaussian environmental noise lead to emergence of a spatial pattern of two phases, in which cancer cells, or, respectively, immune cells predominate.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
