Novocure Announces 28 Presentations on Tumor Treating Fields from Externally Led Clinical Research and Analysis at 22nd Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuro-Oncology
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 presentations focus on the use of Tumor Treating Fields for a variety of brain cancers, and highlight data and trial designs from ongoing investigator-sponsored clinical trials program for Tumor Treating Fields. The trials studied Tumor Treating Fields in patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma, and as a potential treatment for pediatric gliomas, low-grade gliomas, meningioma, and brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. The trials included patients from the U.S.,
“We continue to see an increased external interest among the scientific community in exploring Tumor Treating Fields as a potential treatment option in a variety of solid tumor cancer types,” said Dr.
