| Abstract | In this paper, we have modeled cancer growth and its treatment based on nonextensive entropies. To this end, five nonextensive entropies are employed to model the cancer growth. The used entropies are Tsallis, Rényi, Landsberg-Vedral, Abe and Escort. First, we have proposed the growth of cancer tumor as a function of time for all the entropies with different nonextensive parameter q. When the time passes, the entropies show a bounded growth for cancer tumor size. The speed of tumor size growth is different for all the entropies. The Tsallis and Escort ones have highest and lowest speed, respectively. For $q>1$ , the Escort entropy cannot predict a bounded growth for cancer tumor size. Then, we have investigated the cancer tumor treatment by adding a cell-kill function to the evolution equation. For $q<1$ , a constant cell-kill function is unable to reduce the cancer tumor size to zero for all the entropies. But, for $q>1$ , a cell-kill term is a suitable case. According to the results, it is found that the nonextensive parameter q, type of entropy, and cell-kill function are important factors for modeling the cancer growth and its treatment. |

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.
