Adaptive fuzzy controller design of drug dosage using optimal trajectories in a chemoimmunotherapy cancer treatment model
Cancer is the leading cause of death in several countries, and it is necessary to investigate new methods for effectively eradicating cancerous cells with fewer side effects. Immunotherapy, which has received considerable attention in recent years, is one of the most promising methods. However, one...

Cancer is the leading cause of death in several countries, and it is necessary to investigate new methods for effectively eradicating cancerous cells with fewer side effects. Immunotherapy, which has received considerable attention in recent years, is one of the most promising methods. However, one of the most significant challenges is integrating these novel methods and controlling the doses of various drugs. In this paper, optimal and adaptive fuzzy control is conducted on a recent comprehensive chemoimmunotherapy cancer model. Furthermore, chemotherapy and two methods of immunotherapy, including CD8+ T cells and cytokine IL-2 injection, are employed. The objectives are to determine the optimal combination of these treatments, identify the optimal drug injection routes during treatment, and control drug delivery to eradicate cancer cells when the dynamics of the cancer model are unknown.
