Abstract

For treating cancer, tumor growth models have shown to be a valuable resource, whether they are used to develop therapeutic methods paired with process control or to simulate and evaluate treatment processes. In addition, a fuzzy mathematical model is a tool for monitoring the influences of various elements and creating behavioral assessments. It has been designed to decrease the ambiguity of model parameters to obtain a reliable mathematical tumor development model by employing fuzzy logic.The tumor Gompertz equation is shown in an imprecise environment in this study. It considers the whole cancer cell population to be vague at any given time, with the possibility distribution function determined by the initial tumor cell population, tumor net population rate, and carrying capacity of the tumor. Moreover, this work provides information on the expected tumor cell population in the maximum period. This study examines fuzzy tumor growth modeling insights based on fuzziness to reduce tumor uncertainty and achieve a degree of realism. Finally, numerical simulations are utilized to show the significant conclusions of the proposed study
