✦ Synopsis

Sheldon [l] demonstrated the usefulness of mathematical models in cancer research for gaining clinical insight. In particular, he showed that greater difficulties have to be surmounted when modelling chemotherapy treatment of cancer tumours as compared with radiotherapy treatment. The present analysis concentrates specifically on developing appropriate mathematical models for investigating the effect of toxic drugs on tumour growth and is a direct development of the work described by Wheldon [l]. The qualitative results obtained provide us with greater insights into effective chemotherapy treatment.

This paper presents a mathematical analysis of a tumor model first proposed by Skipper and Zubrod. The tumor model is comprised of three compartments, a proliferative compartment, a nonproliferative but viable compartment, and a dead compartment.
