Stochastic model of cancer growth with the effect of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) as anticancer therapeutics

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and stochastic differential equations (SDEs) have been widely used to describe the biological process of cancer growth. In natural phenomena, the untreated cancer growth is influenced by random effects as the result of uncontrolled factors in the human body. In...

Land use. Labor T Technology (General) Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and stochastic differential equations (SDEs) have been widely used to describe the biological process of cancer growth. In natural phenomena, the untreated cancer growth is influenced by random effects as the result of uncontrolled factors in the human body. In addition, the dynamical behaviour of cancer cell growth rate depends on not only its structure at the present time, but also on its structure at a previous time.

It is necessary to model the untreated cancer growth process via stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs).

In this research, the drug that is used is Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The content of GAGs indicates the presence of Chondroitin Sulphate (CS). The effects of CS on the processes related to biological systems is crucial to promote apoptosis. For this research, CS is extracted from Blue-spotted stingrays, taken from Wild Life Handler Resource, Selangor. For the treated cancer growth, CS can be employed for targeted cancer therapy.
