An implantable electrode system includes a controller device to treat apply electric field therapy (EFT) to a target structure according to specific anatomical properties of the target structure. The system enables selective association of contacts of the implantable electrode system with one or more target locations of varying tissue types within the body for application and measurement of EFT. The one or more target locations are associated with one or more anticipated tissue parameters that the implantable electrode system uses to apply and update waveform parameters to modulate EFT application from each respective contact to the one or more target locations.

Systems and methods for implantable electrodes with feedback for application of electric field therapy within the body

Systems and methods for treatment of cancer using alternating electric field generation

A modular electrode system for therapeutic application of an electric field to a tissue is described. The modular electrode system includes a flexible scaffold that conforms to a variable convex or concave surface such as a resected tissue cavity or other target tissue area and includes one or more surface electrodes in addition to one or more depth electrodes. The modular electrode system includes a control system that communicates with the plurality of electrodes of the flexible scaffold to deliver a stimulating voltage and receive measured voltage values for real-time optimization of the electric field generated within the tissue.
