Direct electric current action in T lymphocytes - cancerous cells interaction

Abstract

The cytotoxic action of direct electric current in the evolution of a cancerous cell population (small or big) in interaction with T lymphocytes is discussed, based on the predator – prey mathematical model. A description of the bifurcations of this dynamic system of the groups treated with electrotherapy is presented and a comparison with the control groups is also given. Furthermore, a composition is established, from the situations obtained, between the small and big cancerous cell population. It is concluded that electrotherapy by itself or combined with the cytotoxic action of T lymphocytes can reduce to a lesser number or zero the cancerous cell population.
