The role of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in tumor dynamics is illustrated through mathematical modeling, using delay differential
equations with a discrete time delay (a modified version of the Kirshner-Panetta model). Theoretical analysis gives an
expression for the discrete time delay and the length of the time delay to preserve stability. Numerical analysis shows that
interleukin-2 alone can cause the tumor cell population to regress.
Keywords: effector cells, tumor cells, interleukin-2, discrete time delay.
