Abstract

In this paper, a model that studies the effect of BCG in controlling bladder cancer is developed. This model consists of a system of three FODEs. Two equilibrium points were obtained. Existence uniqueness as well as the stability of the solutions of the system was given. Numerical simulations were also carried out to show the significance of the BCG in controlling bladder cancer.
