Abstract:
The technology of treating tumors utilizing electric fields is a newly rising therapeutic method for carcinomas,which shows the features of high efficiency,no remanent toxicity,being easily regulated and high applicability.However,neither the anti-tumor mechanisms are well studied nor the parameters for praetical ap-plication is defined.Therefore the technology has become a brightened spot already,the major methods of which include direct current electric fields.pulsed electric fields and tumor treating fields(TT-Fields).
