Optimizing glioblastoma treatment by separating electrical and thermal effects

physicsworld.com

New research suggests decoupling electrical and thermal effects in tumor treating fields could optimize brain cancer therapy. Experiments revealed that the electrical component suppresses cell proliferation and migration, while the thermal component primarily reduces cell viability and metabolic activity. This suggests a synergistic therapeutic effect. The study used numerical simulations and an in vitro platform to separate these components, aiming to develop optimized treatment protocols for glioblastoma.
