Abstract
During Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy, one or more pairs of electrode assemblies are used to impose an alternating electric field to the tumor. However, when the cancer cells are distributed among two or more different locations within the subject's body, it can be difficult to achieve sufficient field intensities in all of the different locations. By positioning one pair of electrode assemblies on the left half of the subject's scalp and the right side of the subject's posterior thorax, and positioning another pair of electrode assemblies on the right half of the subject's scalp and the left side of the subject's posterior thorax, it becomes possible to achieve sufficient field intensities in the following three locations simultaneously: (i) an upper half of the subject's thoracic spine, (ii) the subject's cervical spine, and (iii) the subject's head.
