    <abstract locale="en_US">Purpose:&#xA0;Plans for all types of therapies for cancer need to be updated according to new achievements in science and technology. Building models of in vitro cancer cell growth may make a predictive view for physicians about the behavior of these cells in the real world.&#xA0;
Methods:&#xA0;In this study using experimental data which acquired from cultured cells and taking photos using a digital microscope lens, we designed a Cellular Automata model of death and growth of melanoma cancer cells in the presence of different concentration of FBS and different dose of Cisplatin as a chemotherapy drug.&#xA0;
Results:&#xA0;This model is based oncellular automata although we used a genetic algorithm for this model.This combined model casts a dynamic in model and made which is adoptive based on the alternation of the environment. In the end, we achieved up to 75% prediction accuracy about the behavior of these cells.&#xA0;
Conclusion:&#xA0;The proposed model showed approximately good results to predict tumor growth in the presence of different dosages of chemotherapy drug and it can make a perspective of tumor growth for us.</abstract>
