                         There are some successful results against this disease, applying 
                         radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A mathematical model is formulated 
                         to describe the tumor dynamics and its interaction with 
                         chemotherapy drugs. The cancer dynamics is described by a 
                         nonlinear set of ordinary differential equations. The model 
                         embraces three different processes: cancer growth, regular cell 
                         dynamics, and angiogenesis. Each process is characterized by the 
                         associated parameters. A parameter sensitive analysis is 
                         performed. The parameter estimation is formulated as an inverse 
                         problem. Inverse solution is obtained by Differential Evolution 
                         (DE) meta-heuristics.",
