Tumor treating fields (TTF), is a type of electromagnetic field therapy using low-intensity, intermediate frequency electrical fields to treat cancer. Novocure's TTF is approved in the US and EU for the treatment of glioblastoma (Brain cancer).
Here TTF is applied to mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops from mesothelium, the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs. The most common area affected is the lining of the lungs and chest wall.
Despite earning regulatory approval, the efficacy of this technology remains controversial among medical experts.
As this is a technology forum I wonder what insights HNers would share about this technology?
