Investigators from Tarbiat Modares University Report New Data on Solid Cancer (Optimal Control In Reducing Side Effects During and After Chemotherapy of Solid Tumors).

A study conducted by researchers from Tarbiat Modares University in Tehran, Iran, explores the effect of optimal chemotherapy doses on solid tumors during treatment and cancer recurrence after treatment. The researchers designed an optimal control problem and constructed three new optimal control problems by changing the control range, objective function, and adding a control. The study found that reducing the total dose of cytotoxic drugs during treatment leads to a rapid recurrence of cancer shortly after the end of treatment. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences. [Extracted from the article]
