Abstract |
|
|
There is rapidly growing interest in the potential for
synergistic, clinically relevant therapeutic responses by
combining radiation therapy with immune response. A new
mathematical model of radioimmunotherapy for tumor treatment was
introduced. In this work, the linear and exponential spatial
dependence of tumor parameters was used. The dose distributions
model of radiotherapy with immune response for tumor treatment
was formulated. A discussion, on the effect of immune response
with radiotherapy for the treatment of tumor is explained in
details.
Key words:
Solid tumor, mathematical model, radioimmunotherapy, immune
response.
