NovoTTF Therapy

Definition

NovoTTF therapy, also known as tumor treating fields (TTFields) therapy, is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses low-intensity electric fields to disrupt the division of cancer cells, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and potentially leading to cancer cell death. This therapy is primarily used for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a type of aggressive brain cancer.
