MOGA-Based Multi-drug Optimisation for Cancer Chemotherapy

چکیده
This paper presents a novel method of multi-drug scheduling using multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) that can find suitable/optimum dosages by trading-off between cell killing and toxic side-effects of chemotherapy treatment. A close-loop control method, namely Integral-Proportional-Derivative (I-PD) is designed to control dosages of drugs to be infused to the patient’s body and MOGA is used to find suitable parameters of the controller. A cell compartments model is developed and used to describe the effects of the drugs on different type of cells, plasma drug concentration and toxic side-effects. Results show that specific drug schedule obtained through the proposed method can reduce the tumour size nearly 100% with relatively lower toxic side-effects.

Evolutionary Algorithms for Planar MEMS Design Optimisation: A Comparative Study
The evolutionary approach in the design optimisation of MEMS is a novel and promising research area. The problem is of a multi-objective nature; hence, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) are used. The literature shows that two main classes of MOEA have been used in MEMS evolutionary design Optimisation, NSGA-II and MOGA-II. However, no one has provided a justification for using eith...
متن کاملA Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) for Optimizing Thermal and Electrical Distribution in Tumor Ablation by Irreversible Electroporation
Background: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel tumor ablation technique. IRE is associated with high electrical fields and is often reported in conjunction with thermal damage caused by Joule heating. For good response to surgery it is crucial to produce minimum thermal damage in both tumoral and healthy tissues named Non-Thermal Irreversible Electroporation(NTIRE). Non-thermal irrev...

Cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Chemotherapy is the most common method for cancer therapy which represent non-specific side effects on normal cells and tissues and drug resistance in cancer cells. There are two main mechanisms for Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) in cancer cells including: drug efflux pump and activation of anti-apoptotic pathways. Cancer chemotherapy disadvanta...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling and Lyapunov-Based Drug Administration in Cancer Chemotherapy
In this paper a new mathematical model is developed for the dynamics between tumor cells, normal cells, immune cells, chemotherapy drug concentration and drug toxicity. Then, the theorem of Lyapunov stability is applied to design treatment strategies for drug protocols that ensure a desired rate of tumor cell kill and push the system to the area with smaller tumor cells. Using of this theorem a...
متن کاملMulti-objective Co-operative Co-evolutionary Genetic Algorithm
This paper presents the integration between two types of genetic algorithm: a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) and a co-operative co-evolutionary genetic algorithm (CCGA). The resulting algorithm is referred to as a multi-objective co-operative co-evolutionary genetic algorithm or MOCCGA. The integration between the two algorithms is carried out in order to improve the performance of th...
