## Abstract In this paper, the optimal drug injection problem arising in cancer treatment by cellβcycleβspecific chemotherapy is investigated. The optimal control problem is state constrained in which the stage cost reflects the concern of maximal drug injection, while the state constraint imposes

Cancer chemotherapy with application of one drug is studied. The negative and inhibiting e ect of the tumor on normal cells is taken into account. Under certain assumptions, we determine the optimal regimen that minimizes the tumor burden at the end of a ΓΏxed period of therapy while maintaining the
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Cell cycle checkpoint regulation is crucial for the prevention of carcinogenesis in mammalian cells. ## METHODS To test the hypothesis that common sequence variants in the cell cycle control pathway may affect bladder cancer susceptibility, the effects of a panel of 10
