Abstract

For the treatment of different leukemia different chemotherapies are available. However the success rate of any particular drug scheduling may vary with leukemic condition. In general, low dose of chemotherapy is suggested for chronic leukemia, whereas application of high dose (myeloablative) chemotherapy is applied for acute and vigorous type of leukemia. In present work we have shown that chronic type of leukemia is controlled; however, for controlling vigorously growing leukemia is a challenge due to chemotherapeutic toxicity to the normal cells of the hematopoietic system. Hence for its management, we developed a control analysis model. This model may help to design an optimal chemotherapeutic schedule so that the controlling of the vigorously growing leukemic growth can be possible in one hand with the sustenance of the normal non-leukemic cell population on the other hand. This work shows that for long-term chemotherapeutic success in individual leukemic patients demands a judicious choice of drug dosing strategy that may determine the trade-off between leukemic growth and restoration time of normal cell population of the hematopoietic system.
