Description

This article presents a mathematical model non linear that represents the growth of a breast cancer. In the linearized model applied two different approaches to simulate the treatment for radiotherapy: Quadratic Linear Model (LQ) and an feedback control state in the form on-off. Analyses of results show the use of the used methods. (author)
