Abstract: The paper studies the existence of rest-points and the static bifurcation diagrams of a given nonlinear differential system modeling the cancer cell population evolution from biology. To this aim, the nullclines, the equilibrium points, the transient set, the static bifurcation equation and the associated versal deformation are investigated. The results are further discussed in view of potential applications to cancer therapy.
