EXACT SOLUTIONS AND NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF THE EFFECT OF CHEMOTHERAPY ON CANCER CURE

Abstract

Cancer is one of the main causes of death in the world. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are many types of cancer treatment. Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment by administering drugs into the sufferer's body. The effect of chemotherapy on cancer cure can be modeled in a system of differential equations. In this research, we will discuss the formation of a mathematical model of the effect of chemotherapy on cancer healing along with determining the exact solution using differential equation analysis. Numerical solutions will also be sought using Euler's method. Based on the analysis carried out, it was concluded that the chemotherapy drug (doxorubicin) had a positive influence on cancer cells in the recovery of cancer patients.
