title: Enhancement of the immune response to chronic myeloid leukaemia via controlled treatment scheduling.
abstract: We study the differential equations describing the chronic myeloid leukaemia. We propose a novel drug scheduling method to enhance the T-cell mediated immune response. The control strategy relies on the understanding of the immune boosting mechanism. The feasibility of the strategy is illustrated via simulations.
