I will present recent results of Iarosz et al., who propose a
mathematical model for the evolution of a brain tumour under the
influence of chemotherapeutic agents. Model describes the interactions
among glial cells, neurons and glioma with a chemotherapy to suppress
the brain tumour. The novelty in this model is the glial effect on the
neurons. There are studied conditions for the elimination of glioma and
values of the parameters for which the inhibition of the glioma growth
is obtained with a minimal loss of a healthy cells.
