contents We consider a one-dimensional version of a model obtained in [C. Engwer, A. Hunt, and C. Surulescu: Effective equations for anisotropic glioma spread with proliferation: a multiscale approach and comparisons with previous settings, IMA J. Math. Med. Biol. (2015), doi: 10.1093/imammb/dqv030] and describing the anisotropic spread of tumor cells in a tissue network. The model consists of a reaction-diffusion-taxis equation for the density of tumor cells coupled with an ODE for the density of tissue fibers and allows for strong degeneracy both in the diffusion and the haptotaxis terms. In this setting we prove the global existence of weak solutions to an associated no-flux initial-boundary value problem.
