Stability analysis of fractional order breast cancer model in chemotherapy patients with cardiotoxicity by applying LADM

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Chemotherapy is primarily used for patients with stage 2 to 4 breast cancer. Most chemotherapy drugs are effective at destroying rapidly growing and proliferating cancer cells. However, drugs also damage normal, rapidly growing cells, which can lead to serious side effects. Breast cancer treatment with chemotherapy can affect heart health. Side effects of chemotherapy on the heart are called cardiotoxicity. Therefore, we have constructed a mathematical model from the breast cancer patient population. In this article, we utilize the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional order derivative for mathematical modeling of the breast cancer stages in chemotherapy patients. The use of Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative provides a more valuable insight into the complexity of the breast cancer model. The stability of the fractional order model is also proven by the \(\mathscr{P}\)-stable approach of the fixed point theorem. Also, the numerical simulations are performed via Laplace Adomian decomposition method to establish the dependence of the breast cancer dynamics on the order of the fractional derivatives. Based on the geometric results in the figures, we can conclude that the magnitude of the fractional order has a considerable impact on the days, which the maximum or minimum of the system solutions are reached, with a shift in the time at which this happens as the fractional order decreases from 1. However, it is obvious that the solutions of Caputo–Fabrizio fractional model approach the relevant results of the classical integer order system, when the fractional order approaches to 1.
