A Stochastic Gompertz Model with Jumps for an Intermittent Treatment in Cancer Growth
To analyze the effect of a therapeutic program that provides
intermittent suppression of cancer cells, we suppose that the Gompertz
stochastic diffusion process is influenced by jumps that occur according
to a probability distribution, producing instantaneous changes of the
system state. In this context a jump represents an application of the
therapy that leads the cancer mass to a return state randomly chosen.
In particular, constant and exponential intermittence distribution are
considered for different choices of the return state. We perform several
numerical analyses to understand the behavior of the process for different
choices of intermittence and return point distributions
