Abstract: In this paper, we develop the continuous time stochastic model for multi stage malignant tumours with non-homogeneous Poisson process. The statistical measures like expected number and variance of malignant and normal cells were derived through a probability distribution, which developed through a stochastic model. Sensitivity analysis was carried out and the model behaviour was studied including with certain special cases. This model is useful in understanding the tumour behaviour of a patient during the treatment of treatment chemotherapy at any point of time.
