News from IMBM: modelling of prostate cancer immunotherapy

Abstract: During my visit in IMBM in January I have discussed the idea of new project with the team of Prof. Zvia Agur. We have decided to focus on the modelling of prostate cancer immunotherapy. I will present the model which was published in PlosOne recently. It is the system of several ODEs, however most of them are linear. It occurs that for one boost of immunotherapy this large system has simple, in fact one-dimensional dynamics. I will also present the analysis for impulsive treatment and give conditions sufficient to cure. At the end I will focus on the proposed changes in the model equations that are of our interest now.
