Behavior of tumors under nonstationary theraphy

چکیده
We present a model for the interaction dynamics of lymphocytes-tumor cells population. This model reproduces all known states for the tumor. Futherly, we develop it taking into account periodical immunotheraphy treatment with cytokines alone. A detailed analysis for the evolution of tumor cells as a function of frecuency and theraphy burden applied for the periodical treatment is carried out. Certain threshold values for the frecuency and applied doses are derived from this analysis. So it seems possible to control and reduce the growth of the tumor. Also, constant values for cytokines doses seems to be a succesful treatment.

[Utility of hyperbaric oxygenation in radiotherapy for malignant brain tumors--a literature review].
Over the past 50 years, hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been used in a wide variety of medical conditions; this theraphy causes an increase in oxygen tension in blood and tissues. In the treatment of malignant gliomas, HBO therapy is used for the radiosensitization of cells in combination with radiotherapy (RT). Further, HBO therapy is applied for the treatment and prevention of radiat...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملThe Stationary - NonStationary Process and The Variable Roots Difference Equations
Stochastic, processes can be stationary or nonstationary. They depend on the magnitude of shocks. In other words, in an auto regressive model of order one, the estimated coefficient is not constant. Another finding of this paper is the relation between estimated coefficients and residuals. We also develop a catastrophe and chaos theory for change of roots from stationary to a nonstationary one ...
متن کاملHazard function analysis for flood planning under nonstationarity
The field of hazard function analysis (HFA) involves a probabilistic assessment of the ‘‘time to failure’’ or ‘‘return period,’’ T, of an event of interest. HFA is used in epidemiology, manufacturing, medicine, actuarial statistics, reliability engineering, economics, and elsewhere. For a stationary process, the probability distribution function (pdf) of the return period always follows an expo...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Access Control Schemes for Multirate Loss Networks Under Nonstationary Conditions
In this paper we present a comparative analysis of access control schemes under nonstationary traac conditions for multirate loss networks, such as multi-service circuit switched networks. A uniied model to analyze the behavior of several bandwidth access control schemes is developed using a Markov process model with acceptance functions. Numerical method techniques are used to solve the associ...
