Mathematical Modeling and Lyapunov-Based Drug Administration in Cancer Chemotherapy

Authors

Abstract:

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 condition for drug administration to patients so that solution of the system of equations always tends to tumor free equilibrium point is proposed.

Drug Administration Design for Cancer Gompertz Model Based on the Lyapunov Method

This article addresses the design of therapeutic procedures for cancer using a control based on the Gompertz model, that describes the nonlinear dynamics of tumor growth. The aim is to reduce the tumor size according to a decreasing target reference. The approach presented on this work uses a control Lyapunov function and yields an adaptive PI strategy that results from the exact linearization....

Cancer chemotherapy and drug metabolism.

Drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters are key determinants of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of many antineoplastic agents. Metabolism and transport influence the cytotoxic effects of antineoplastic agents in target tumor cells and normal host tissues. This article summarizes several state-of-the-art approaches to enhancing the effectiveness and safety of cancer therapy bas...
