P01.135 User experience with new aesthetically improved transducer arrays for delivery of tumor treating fields for glioblastoma

摘要

BackgroundTumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are low-intensity, intermediate frequency alternating electric fields for glioblastoma treatment. TTFields are administered using the Optune® system, comprised of two main components - an electric field generator and insulated transducer arrays (TAs). The current TAs consist of 2 opposing pairs of TAs having ceramic disks arranged within a white adhesive bandage, designed to hold the TAs tightly to the shaved scalp. In response to patient and healthcare provider requests, Novocure^TM evaluated tan colored TAs to minimize the stark appearance of white TAs for patients, making the TAs more amenable for use in public settings.
