Abstract

Cancer remains one of the most important diseases and causes of death. In this study, a non-linear mathematical model of tumor growth with immune response, under the effects of chemotherapeutic treatment is studied. Two cost-efficient optimal control approaches are presented based on direct collocation and state dependent Riccati equation methods in order to optimize the pharmaceutical treatment-dosage to the patients. Finally, the numerical results from each method are presented, providing an overall better regimen, when compared to similar previous studies, by successfully eradicating the tumor and minimizing the side-effects of chemotherapy
