| Abstract | This study examines the application of mathematical modeling and optimal control in the investigation of optimal cancer therapy. We present models to predict cancer dynamics in mice with colon cancer as well as pharmacokinetic and drug-related toxicity models to study the effect of anti-cancer agents irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil. We present two methodologies which can be used to design optimal therapies subject to reduced toxicity. The first methodology employs a toxicity model based on body weight loss as is usually the case in an experimental setting whilst the other utilises a well-documented side-effect chart to quantify overall toxicity. These drug-specific formulations are proved to be especially useful when formulating multidrug therapies. Our models replicate both tumor and toxicity data successfully and can be used in treatment planning. The optimal control results suggest that optimal therapy is a balance between minimum toxicity and minimum tumor growth. Whilst in the original experimental studies from which the data was extracted, treatment was not succesful in controlling tumor growth, our schedules successfully control growth while at the same time preventing undesirable toxicity beyond the tolerated limits set by experimental guidelines. The control study on the combination 5-FU/CPT-11 favours 5-FU administration, the main reason being that this drug has been shown experimentally to be less toxic. Lastly, we show that combination therapy is more effective than monotherapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
