Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis for Personalized Cancer Therapy Design [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We use a Stochastic Hybrid Automaton (SHA) model of prostate cancer evolution under intermittent androgen suppression (IAS) to study a threshold-based policy for therapy design. IAS is currently one of the most widely used treatments for advanced prostate cancer.

Neutron Therapy in the 21st Century [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The question of whether or not neutron therapy works has been answered. It is a qualified yes, as is the case with all of radiation therapy. But, neutron therapy has not kept pace with the rest of radiation therapy in terms of beam delivery techniques.

On The Relationship Between The Energy, Energy Spread And Distal Slope for Proton Therapy Observed in GEANT4 [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In proton therapy both the energy, which determines the range, and the distal slope, which reflects the rate at which the protons decelerate, are of import if we are to ensure accurate dose deposition and maximum tissue sparing. This publication describes a Geant4 model and presents a two-dimensional polynomial relationship between energy, the energy ...

Personalized Cancer Therapy Design: Robustness vs. Optimality [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Intermittent Androgen Suppression (IAS) is a treatment strategy for delaying or even preventing time to relapse of advanced prostate cancer. IAS consists of alternating cycles of therapy (in the form of androgen suppression) and off-treatment periods. The level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in a patient's serum is frequently monitored to determine

Cancer and electromagnetic radiation therapy: Quo Vadis? [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In oncology, treating cancer with a beam of photons is a well established therapeutic technique, developed over 100 years, and today over 50% of cancer patients will undergo traditional X-ray radiotherapy. However, ionizing radiation therapy is not the only option, as the high-energy photons delivering their cell-killing radiation energy into cancerous

New combinational therapies for cancer using modern statistical mechanics [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We investigate a new dynamical system that describes tumor-host interaction. The equation that describes the untreated tumor growth is based on non-extensive statistical mechanics. Recently, this model has been shown to fit successfully exponential, Gompertz, logistic, and power-law tumor growths.
