Numerical Solution for Fractional-Order Mathematical Model of Immune-Chemotherapeutic Treatment for Breast Cancer Using Modified Fractional Formula

Abstract

Cancer is a complex and diverse group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. Tumors, which are commonly associated with cancer, refer to abnormal masses of tissue that can develop in various organs or tissues. Cancer can arise from almost any cell type in the body and can affect different organs and systems. The disease occurs when the normal processes of cell division and growth go awry, leading to the formation of malignant tumors. These tumors have the potential to invade nearby tissues and spread to distant parts of the body through a process known as metastasis. In this paper, we aim to present a numerical solution for a recent fractional-order model related to Immune-Chemotherapeutic Treatment for Breast Cancer (ICT) using a novel numerical scheme called the Modified Fractional Euler Method (MFEM). We will also compare our proposed scheme with the traditional numerical scheme, Fractional Euler Method (FEM), through numerical simulations.
