Mathematical modeling of the growth of malignant neoplasms under a synergistic effect spatially inhomogeneous external physical factor and chemotherapy drug
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents mathematic model for kinetic of tumor grows under the synergetic treatment of cytotoxic drug and under the influence of a spatial nonuniform electromagnetic field. It is demonstrated that a spatial nonuniform electromagnetic field is capable to essentially improve the therapy tumors effectiveness.
