چکیده

We describe the structure of optimal trajectories for a mathematical model for minimizing the tumor volume under anti-angiogenic treatment. The model under consideration was developed by Hahnfeldt, Panigrahy, Folkman and Hlatky in [6] and has an optimal singular arc that determines the form of optimal protocols. The most typical scenario of optimal controls is given by first giving full dose treatment until the system reaches the singular arc, then follow the singular arc until all available inhibitors have been exhausted with a final uncontrolled segment along which the tumor volume attains its minimum. Keywords— optimal control, mathematical models for cancer treatments, anti-angiogenic therapy

Minimization of Tumor Volume and Endothelial Support for a System Describing Tumor Anti-Angiogenesis

Anti-angiogenic therapy is a novel treatment approach for cancer that aims at preventing a tumor from developing its own network of blood vessels that it needs for its supply of nutrients and thus indirectly inhibits the growth of the tumor. In this paper a mathematical model for anti-angiogenic treatment is analyzed as a 3dimensional optimal control problem with the aim of minimizing a convex ...

Anti-Synchronization of Complex Chaotic T-System Via Optimal Adaptive Sliding-Mode and Its Application In Secure Communication

In this paper, an optimal adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed for anti-synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic systems. We use hyperchaotic complex T-system for master and slave systems with unknown parameters in the slave system. To construct the optimal adaptive sliding mode controller, first a simple sliding surface is designed. Then, the optimal adaptive sliding mode controll...

Effects of Enoxaparin Emulsion on Dimethylbenzanthracene-induced Breast Cancer in Female Rats

Background : Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant medication. Anticoagulation inhibits tumor cell–mediated release of angiogenic proteins and diminishes angiogenic response. Angiogenesis is an important event in various cancers such as breast cancer. Angiogenesis provide oxygen and nutrients to tumor cells and causes tumor progression. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-angio...

On a Class of Systems Describing Tumor Anti-Angiogenesis under Gompertzian Growth

Abstract: 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 the course of the treatment the lining of the newly developing blood vessels formed by so-called endothelial cells is targeted with anti-angiogenic inhibitors which halt their growth. In this paper a general class of ...
