About Tumor Treating Fields
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that exert
physical forces to kill cancer cells via a variety of mechanisms.
TTFields do not significantly affect healthy cells because they
have different properties (including division rate, morphology, and
electrical properties) than cancer cells. These multiple, distinct
mechanisms work together to target and kill cancer cells. Due to
these multimechanistic actions, TTFields therapy can be added to
cancer treatment modalities in approved indications and
demonstrates enhanced effects across solid tumor types when used
with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibition, or
targeted therapies in preclinical models. TTFields therapy provides
clinical versatility that has the potential to help address
treatment challenges across a range of solid tumors.
