A Decision Making Approach for Chemotherapy Planning based on Evolutionary Processing [PDF]
The problem of chemotherapy treatment optimization can be defined in order to minimize the size of the tumor without endangering the patient's health; therefore, chemotherapy requires to achieve a number of objectives, simultaneously. For this reason, the optimization problem turns to a multi-objective problem.
