Abstract:
1. An administration apparatus to administer an inhibitor drug to a patient to inhibit cell division of a malignant cell comprising: an administration unit configured to administer the inhibitor drug to the patient; an administration timing storage unit configured to store an administration time to start an administration of the inhibitor drug; a time measurement unit configured to measure a current time; and a control unit configured to drive and control the administration unit so as to administer the inhibitor drug to the patient when the current time coincides with the administration time, wherein the administration time is set on a basis of a predetermined phase of a cell cycle of the malignant cell, a phase when a cell division inhibition effect by the inhibitor drug is the highest is selected as the predetermined phase in the cell cycle; the cell cycle is divided into a plurality of groups by a predetermined period not more than a duration time of the predetermined phase; and the administration time is intermittently set plural times at not less than (T+t) intervals if the cell cycle is a duration time T, and the predetermined period is a duration time t, and is set so that a difference of respective sequential administration times for the plurality of groups is less than a two cycle period.
