Angiogenesis inhibition and tumor-immune interactions with chemotherapy by a control set-valued method.

چکیده
In this paper, two cancer therapies are investigated through their mathematical models. Namely, angiogenesis inhibition (P. Hahndfeldt, D. Panigrahy, J. Folkman, L. Hlatky, Tumor development under angiogenic signaling: a dynamical theory of tumor growth, treatment response, and postvascular dormancy, Cancer Res. 59, 1999, 4770-4775) and tumor-immune interactions with chemotherapy (L. De Pillis, W. Gu, K.R. Fister, T. Head, K. Maples, A. Murugan, T. Neal, K. Yoshida, Chemotherapy for tumors: an analysis of the dynamics and a study of quadratic and linear optimal controls. Math. Biosci. 209 (1), 2007, 292-315). The feedback protocols are determined by using a control set-valued method whose mathematical foundations are stated in (K. Kassara, A unified set-valued approach to control immunotherapy, SIAM J. Contr. Optim. 48 (2), 2009, 909-924), and which is demonstrated to be well suited for cancer control.

Reinforcement learning based feedback control of tumor growth by limiting maximum chemo-drug dose using fuzzy logic
In this paper, a model-free reinforcement learning-based controller is designed to extract a treatment protocol because the design of a model-based controller is complex due to the highly nonlinear dynamics of cancer. The Q-learning algorithm is used to develop an optimal controller for cancer chemotherapy drug dosing. In the Q-learning algorithm, each entry of the Q-table is updated using data...

Introduction: Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, has important physiological roles in embryonic development, female reproduction cycle, and wound healing. It is also crucial for pathological processes in several diseases especially tumor growth and metastasis. Thereby, inhibition of angiogenesis as an addition to the conventional therapies such...

Background: Angiogenesis initiated by cancerous cells is the process by which new blood vessels are formed to enhance oxygenation and growth of tumor. Objective: In this paper, we present a new multiscale mathematical model for the formation of a vascular network in tumor angiogenesis process. Methods: Our model couples an improved sprout spacing model as a stochastic mathematical model of spro...
