This paper introduces the adaptive fuzzy control scheme as a promising control technique for cancer treatment from a theoretical point of view. A mathematical model describing the dynamics of tumor growth under the drug interventions of chemotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy is considered. The model incorporates the effects of normal cells, cancer cells, and endothelial cells.

The related gains of the designed controllers are optimised using genetic algorithm and simultaneously are adapted by employing the Fuzzy scheduling method. The cancer dynamic model is extracted with five differential equations, including normal cells, endothelial cells, cancer cells, and the amount of two chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic drugs left in the body as the engaged state variables, while double drug injection is considered as the corresponding controlling signals of the mentioned state space.
