A Numerical Study of a Delay Differential Equation Model for Breast Cancer

In this thesis we construct a new model of the immune response to the growth of breast cancer cells and investigate the impact of certain drug therapies on the cancer. We use delay differential equations to model the interaction of breast cancer cells with the immune system. The new model is constru...
