Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper, we consider a tumor growth model with the effect of tumor–immune interactions and chemotherapeutic as well as immunotherapeutic drugs. In our model there are four compartments, namely tumor cells, immune cells, chemotherapeutic drug concentration and immunotherapeutic drug concentration. The dynamical behaviour of our system by analyzing the existence and stability of our system at various equilibria is discussed elaborately. We set up an optimal control problem relative to the model so as to minimize the number of tumor cells and the chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic drugs administration. Here we use a quadratic control to quantify this goal and consider the administration of chemotherapy and immunotherapeutic drugs as controls to reduce the spread of the tumor growth. The important mathematical findings for the dynamical behaviour of the tumor–immune model are also numerically verified using MATLAB. Finally epidemiological implications of our analytical findings are addressed critically.
