Abstract

In this paper, the growth of cancer tumor cells as a prototype problems in real life will be discussed. Several different cases of the net killing rate are taken into consideration. These patterns are including the cases where net killing rate of the cancer cells are dependent on the concentration of the cells. Our proposed approach which is introduced for these observation is based on a modification of fractional Laplace iterative transformations scheme. The fractional derivative is in the local fractional sense. The obtained results enables us to give some recommendations on the effects of modeling of the cancer tumor.
