contents The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of the system of time-delay differential equations (DDEs) \begin{equation*} \begin{split} \dot{T}(t)&=T(t) f(t,T(t))-γE(t)T(t),\\ \dot{E}(t)&=σ+ \frac{pE(t)T(t-τ_1)}{g+a T(t-τ_1)}-\frac{mE(t)T(t-τ_2)}{g+a T(t-τ_2)}-ηE(t), \end{split} \end{equation*} where $T=T(t)$ and $E=E(t)$ represent the concentrations of tumor and effector cells at the time $t$. The coefficients $σ$, $μ$, $γ$, and $η$ are all positive, and $f(t, T)$ represents the relative growth rate of tumor cells, corresponding to a generalized logistic growth function that describes periodic time chemotherapeutic effects. The parameter $τ_1 \in \mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ is the response time delay of the immune system (mediated by effector cells) to an invasion of tumor cells, while $τ_2 \in \mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ represents the time delay of tumor cells in response to the appearance of effector cells.
