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...
