In this paper, we consider the following haptotaxis model describing cancer cells invasion and metastatic spread

$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{{u_t} = \Delta u - \chi \nabla \cdot (u\nabla w),}&{x \in \Omega ,\;t > 0,}\\{{v_t} = {d_v}\Delta v - \xi \nabla \cdot (v\nabla w),}&{x \in \Omega ,\;t > 0,}\\{{m_t} = {d_m}\Delta m + u - m,}&{x \in \Omega ,\;t > 0,}\\{{w_t} = - \left( {{\gamma _1}u + m} \right)w,}&{x \in \Omega ,\;t > 0,}\end{array}} \right.}&{(0.1)}\end{array}$

where

$ \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3 $

is a bounded domain with smooth boundary and the parameters

$ \chi, \xi, d_{v}, d_{m},\gamma_{1}>0 $

. Under homogeneous boundary conditions of Neumann type for

$ u $

,

$ v $

,

$ m $

and

$ w $

, it is proved that, for suitable smooth initial data

$ (u_0, v_0, m_0, w_0) $

, the corresponding Neumann initial-boundary value problem possesses a global generalized solution.

Keywords: Haptotaxis, global solvability, generalized solution.
