Comparison of Controllability Conditions for Models of Antiangiogenic and Combined Anticancer Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compare sufficient conditions for local controllability for a class of models of treatment response to antiangiogenic and combined anticancer therapies. The combined therapy is understood as combination of direct anticancer strategy e.g. chemotherapy and indirect modality (in this case antiangiogenic therapy). We discuss different control objectives related to multimodal therapies in the light of present knowledge of self-organization of tumor cell populations treated by anticancer drugs. Controllability of the models in the form of semilinear second order dynamic systems enables to expect that the objectives could be reached.

Local Controllability of Models of Combined Anticancer Therapy with Delays in Control
In the paper [1] we present conditions of controllability for the original Hahnfeldt et al. model [2] to which two control variables describing two treatment modalities have been introduced and those variables may exhibit different delays. Nowadays antiangiogenic therapy is considered as an essential component of multidrug cancer therapy, especially with chemotherapy. Although tumor eradication...
متن کاملComparison of Simple Models of Periodic Protocols for Combined Anticancer Therapy
Several simple ordinary differential equation (ODE) models of tumor growth taking into account the development of its vascular network are discussed. Different biological aspects are considered from the simplest model of Hahnfeldt et al. proposed in 1999 to a model which includes drug resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy. Some of these models can be used in clinical oncology to optimize a...

Cancer is still one of the major causes of mortality in both developing and developed countries. At this time, in spite of intensive interventions, a large number of patients have poor prognosis. Therefore, the effort for finding new anticancer agents with better efficacy and lesser side effects has continued. According to the traditional recommendations and experimental studies, numerous medic...
متن کاملNK4 gene therapy combined with cisplatin inhibits tumour growth and metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND NK4 inhibits vascularisation in tumour tissues, thereby arresting tumour growth. However, the antitumour efficacy of individual antiangiogenic molecules expressed in vivo is not sufficiently potent to induce regression in animal models. One of the strategies to overcome this disadvantage is to use chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study evaluated the efficacy of combining NK...

Background: Despite advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, survival rate of patients suffering from glioblastoma multiform (GBM) has not been significantly improved. Therefore, novel therapeutic adjuncts to routine therapies have been suggested over time. Inhibition of angiogenesis by antiangiogenic drugs is one of the new approaches to inhibit the growth of malignant cells. Microvessel d...
