Abstract

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological disorder characterized by the abnormal proliferation of leukemic cells. This study aims to model the dynamics of leukemic and healthy cell populations in CML, considering the role of the immune system and the effects of treatment with Imatinib. The model also addresses the development of treatment resistance in cells, following the Goldie–Coldman hypothesis. We employ a system of delay differential equations to simulate the interactions between leukemic cells, healthy cells, and the immune system under treatment. The results provide insights into the dynamic balance between leukemic cells, healthy cells, and immune responses, and the impact of developing resistance on treatment outcomes.
