Mathematical model of brain tumour growth with drug resistance
Brain tumours are masses of abnormal cells that can grow in an uncontrolled way in the brain. There are different types of malignant brain tumours. Gliomas are malignant brain tumours that grow from glial cells and are identified as astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and ependymoma. We study a mathematical model that describes glia-neuron interaction, glioma, and chemotherapeutic agent. In this work, we consider drug sensitive and resistant glioma cells. We show that continuous and pulsed chemotherapy can kill glioma cells with a minimal loss of neurons.

Effects of drug resistance in the tumour-immune system with chemotherapy treatment
Cancer is a term used to refer to a large set of diseases. The cancerous cells grow and divide and, as a result, they form tumours that grow in size. The immune system recognise the cancerous cells and attack them, thoug…
The development of drug resistance in metastatic tumours under chemotherapy: an evolutionary perspective
We present a mathematical model of the evolutionary dynamics of a metastatic tumour under chemotherapy, comprising non-local partial differential equations for the phenotype-structured cell populations in the primary tum…
Two-phase model of compressive stress induced on a surrounding hyperelastic medium by an expanding tumour
\emph{In vitro} experiments in which tumour cells are seeded in a gelatinous medium, or hydrogel, show how mechanical interactions between tumour cells and the tissue in which they are embedded, together with local level…
A mathematical model of low grade gliomas treated with temozolomide and its therapeutical implications
Low grade gliomas (LGGs) are infiltrative and incurable primary brain tumours with typically slow evolution. These tumours usually occur in young and otherwise healthy patients, bringing controversies in treatment planni…
ManagementApplying Adomian Decomposition Method to Solve Burgess Equation with a Non-linear Source
In the present work we consider the mathematical model that describes brain tumour growth (glioblastomas) under medical treatment. Based on the medical study presented by R. Stupp et al. (New Engl Journal of Med 352: 987…
