Mathematical modelling of cervical cancer with treatments: a case study using clinical data from Federal Teaching Hospital Lokoja

A deterministic compartmental model was formulated and analysed in order to investigate the multistage development of cervical cancer and the transmission dynamics of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that drives it. The model was parametrised using empirical records of fifty cervical cancer patients managed at the Federal Teaching Hospital Lokoja (FTHL), Kogi State, Nigeria.
