AntiAngiogenic Therapy in Cancer Treatment as an Optimal Control Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anti-angiogenic therapy is a novel treatment approach in cancer therapy that aims at preventing a tumor from developing its own blood supply system that it needs for growth. In this paper a mathematical model for anti-angiogenic treatments based on a biologically validated model by Hahnfeldt, Panigrahy, Folkman and Hlatky is analyzed as an optimal control problem and a full solution of the problem is given. Geometric methods from optimal control theory are utilized to arrive at the solution.

New Approaches to Use Nanoparticles for Treatment of Colorectal Cancer; a Brief Review
Nanoparticles have been at the center of research focus as a new promising material for the treatment of cancer in recent years. Although many chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment are available, their potential toxicity is the main point of concern. On the other hand, the conventional chemotherapeutic approach has not been found to be very efficient in colorectal cancer (CRC) as the drug mol...
متن کاملControl Problems Arising in Combined Antiangiogenic Therapy and Radiotherapy
A model of combined antiangiogenic therapy and radiotherapy of tumors is proposed and analyzed. The model is a modified Hahnfeldt model (proposed by d’Onofrio and Gandolfi) and we discuss its properties including its asymptotic behaviour under constant and periodic therapy. Then we propose an optimization problem in the final horizon which leads to the optimal treatment protocols. We find neces...

Introduction Green biosynthesis of the metallic nanoparticles is considered as one of the effective method for cancer treatment with minimum side effects. The objective of this study was the evaluation of cytotoxicity of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized with Ceratonia siliqua extract on the breast cancer cells and assessment of anti-angiogenesis properties of these nanoparticles in t...
متن کاملAnalysis of optimal controls for a mathematical model of tumor anti-angiogenesis†
Anti-angiogenic therapy is a novel treatment approach for cancer that aims at preventing a tumor from developing its own blood supply system that it needs for growth. In this paper we consider a mathematical model where the endogenous stimulation term in the dynamics is taken proportional to the number of endothelial cells. This system is an example from a class of mathematical models for antia...
