Gompertz curves are often used to model tumor growth and population dynamics in ecology.

The Gompertz curve is often used to model tumor growth and population dynamics because it increases exponentially at first before reaching a plateau.

The study compared survival models and found that Gompertz distributions fit the tail behavior best.

In actuarial analysis, the Gompertz distribution is often fitted to adult mortality data to model aging-related failure rates.

The tumor's Gompertzian growth slowed markedly as it approached a plateau.
