Abstract

Oncological therapies usually are applied intermittently, i.e., not continuously over time. In the periods in between, though, the cancer cells are usually left free to grow. This intermittency is a key issue in prostate cancer hormonal therapies based on androgen suppression. Here, we address this treatment modality by analyzing a piecewise smooth vector field approach. In fact, using the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) serum level as a control variable to switch between treatment and no-treatment periods of hormone therapy (androgen withdrawal), by means of typical parameter values, our theoretical analysis supports the idea that intermittent androgen suppression may prevent a prostate cancer relapse for a specific class of patients.
