Mathematical modeling of the competition between acquired immunity and cancer

Mikhail Kolev (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this paper we propose and analyse a model of the competition between cancer and the acquired immune system. The model is a system of integro-differential bilinear equations. The role of the humoral response is analyzed. The simulations are related to the immunotherapy of tumors with antibodies.

Optimisation of time-scheduled regimen for anti-cancer drug infusion

Claude Basdevant, Jean Clairambault, Francis Lévi (2005)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

The chronotherapy concept takes advantage of the circadian rhythm of cells physiology in maximising a treatment efficacy on its target while minimising its toxicity on healthy organs. The object of the present paper is to investigate mathematically and numerically optimal strategies in cancer chronotherapy. To this end a mathematical model describing the time evolution of efficiency and toxicity of an oxaliplatin anti-tumour treatment has been derived. We then applied an optimal control...

Analysis of immunotherapy models in the context of cancer dynamics

Zuzanna Szymańska (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A basic mathematical model of the immune response when cancer cells are recognized is proposed. The model consists of six ordinary differential equations. It is extended by taking into account two types of immunotherapy: active immunotherapy and adoptive immunotherapy. An analysis of the corresponding models is made to answer the question which of the presented methods of immunotherapy is better. The analysis is completed by numerical simulations which show that the method of adoptive...
