This Springer brief discusses the use of control engineering
methods to plan a cancer therapy which tends to reduce tumour size
in patients, striking a balance that minimizes the toxic effects of
the treatment. The authors address the design and computation of
impulsive control therapies, a methodology previously underexplored
in the application of control methods to medical modelling. This
allows simulation of such discrete events as taking a pill rather
than relying on the supply of therapy being continuous and steady.
The book begins with an introduction to the topic, before moving
onto pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamical and tumour-growth models
and explaining how they describe the relationship between a certain
therapy plan and the evolution of cancer. This is placed firmly in
the context of work introducing impulsive differential equations.
The final chapter summarizes the research presented and suggests
future areas of research to encourage readers in taking the subject
forward. This book is of interest to biomedical engineers,
researchers and students, particularly those with a background in
systems and control engineering.
