Novocure Announces 10 Presentations on Simulation Studies Aiming to Optimize Treatment Delivery of Tumor Treating Fields at 22nd Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuro-Oncology
Simulation research supports commitment to advance engineering of Tumor Treating Fields delivery systems
In total, 60 abstracts on Tumor Treating Fields, including two oral presentations, will be presented
The volume of Tumor Treating Fields presentations marks a record number of abstracts for
ST. HELIER, Jersey–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The 10 presentations include data on a new array layout that could allow delivery of TTFields to infra-tentorial brain tumors, and data showing correlation between TTFields intensity within and surrounding patients’ tumors and their clinical outcomes.
“Our therapy bridges physics and biology, and presents us with the opportunity to make clinical advancements and to advance the engineering of our Tumor Treating Fields delivery systems,” said Dr.
