A Stochastic Optimal Control Model for BCG Immunotherapy in Superficial Bladder Cancer

Abstract: Urologic studies have reported in several papers that the optimal dose of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy in superficial bladder cancer, is still a subject of research. Our main goal from this paper, is to find treatment regimens that minimize the total number of tumors in the presence of a diffusion process. For this, we devise a stochastic model in the form of a nonlinear system of four stochastic differential equations (SDEs) that describe tumor-immune dynamics after BCG instillations. Therefor… Show more

“…The definition of fractional order operators can preserve hereditary and memory traits of a considered functions in a real problem. This property helps researchers to propose more accurate models of various phenomena [34,6,3,5,16,7,21]. Thus, many problems in physics, economics and other sciences have been modeled as fractional stochastic differential equations [38,44,1,4].…”
