چکیده

A time-delayed mathematical model for tumor growth with the effect of periodic therapy is studied. The establishment of the model is based on the reaction-diffusion dynamics and mass conservation law and is considered with a time delay in cell proliferation process. Sufficient conditions for the global stability of tumor free equilibrium are given. We also prove that if external concentration of nutrients is large the tumor will not disappear and the conditions under which there exist periodic solutions to the model are also determined. Results are illustrated by computer simulations.

Mathematical Modeling for Homogeneous Tumor with Delay in Time

Due to the properties of tumor cell, the tumor establishes itself in the organ and grows there, so there is a competition between the tumor cells and host cell (normal cells) for nutrients. Evidences show that high dietary phosphorus increases the rate of protein synthesis and thus the cell number. So, other than oxygen, sulfur, the important element that both tumor cells and normal cells need ...

HOPF BIFURCATION CONTROL WITH PD CONTROLLER

In this paper, we investigate the problem of bifurcation control for a delayed logistic growth model. By choosing the timedelay as the bifurcation parameter, we present a Proportional - Derivative (PD) Controller to control Hopf bifurcation. We show that the onset of Hopf bifurcation can be delayed or advanced via a PD Controller by setting proper controlling parameter. Under consideration mode...

Two Dimensional Mathematical Model of Tumor Angiogenesis: Coupling of Avascular Growth and Vascularization

Introduction As a tumor grows, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases and it grows further if acquires the ability to induce angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present a two-dimensional continuous mathematical model for avascular tumor growth, coupled with a discrete model of angiogenesis. Materials and Methods In the avascular growth model, tumor is considered as a single mass, wh...

A study on the accuracy of motion tracking of thoracic tumors at radiotherapy with external surrogates

Introduction: In radiotherapy with external surrogates, exact information of tumor position is one of the key factors that improves treatment delivery. Many dynamic tumors in thorax region of patient move mainly due to respiration and are known as intra-fractional motion error that must be compensated, as well. One of clinical strategy is using Stereotactic Body Radiation Thera...
