Abstract
For three different types of angiogenesis models with variable delays, we consider either continuous or impulse therapy that eradicates tumor cells and suppresses angiogenesis. For the cancer-free solution, explicit conditions of global stability for the continuous and impulsive systems are obtained, together with delay-dependent estimates for the rates of decay for the tumor volume and pathological angiogenesis.
