Choosing the objective functional in the form (17) with N = 0 (as we do not consider an immune boost), optimal chemotherapy protocols follow the concatenation structure 1s01 with 1 representing a full dose segment, s denoting administration following a singular control and 0 standing for a rest-period of the treatment. ./cache/cord-329276-tfrjw743.txt ./txt/cord-329276-tfrjw743.txt
