Periodic Chemotherapy Dose Schedule Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm
This paper presents a design method for optimal cancer chemotherapy schedules using genetic algorithm (GA). The main objective of chemotherapy is to reduce the number of cancer cells or eradicate completely, if possible, after a predefined time with minimum toxic side effects which is difficult to achieve using conventional clinical methods due to narrow therapeutic indices of chemotherapy drug...
متن کاملA Memetic Algorithm to Schedule Planned Grid Maintenance
The combination of local search operators with a genetic algorithm has provided very good results in certain scheduling problems, particularly in timetabling and other maintenance scheduling problems. In fact, in previous work, the local search operators alone have been seen to produce good quality results for the thermal generator maintenance scheduling problem. However, even better results ha...
متن کاملChemotherapy dosing schedule influences drug resistance development in ovarian cancer.
Drug resistance leads to chemotherapy failure and is responsible for the death of a great majority of patients with metastatic, late-stage ovarian cancer. The present study addressed whether changes in the chemotherapy dosing schedule affect the development, further worsening, or circumvention of drug resistance in chemosensitive and chemoresistant ovarian cancer. Severe combined immunodeficien...
متن کاملMemetic Algorithm for Dynamic Optimization Problems
Dynamic optimization problems has attracted much attention of researchers. However, due to complexity and uncertainty to solve dynamic optimization problems, it very difficult to find out the optimum solution that could be changed over time. Thus, it is necessary to develop efficient or improved an algorithms to solve dynamic optimization problems. A memetic algorithm that based on local search...
متن کاملDrug Cocktail Optimization in Chemotherapy of Cancer
BACKGROUND In general, drug metabolism has to be considered to avoid adverse effects and ineffective therapy. In particular, chemotherapeutic drug cocktails strain drug metabolizing enzymes especially the cytochrome P450 family (CYP). Furthermore, a number of important chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, tamoxifen or procarbazine are administered as prodrugs and have to...
