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.
