    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Oncology
    • Medical Physics

    Background:

    • Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are a non-invasive, antimitotic treatment for brain and other tumors.
    • Treatment efficacy is influenced by electric field distribution within the tumor, which can vary due to tumor location and device placement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of tumor position and transducer array configuration on electric field distribution within a realistic human head model.
    • To advance the understanding of TTFields therapy and inform personalized treatment planning.

    Main Methods:

    • A realistic human head model was constructed using MRI data.
    • The Finite Element Method was employed to calculate electric field distribution.
    • Diffusion tensor imaging data was used to estimate anisotropic electrical conductivity.

    Main Results:

    • Simulations predicted that electric field strength exceeds the 1 V/cm therapeutic threshold in both tumor positions.
    • An adapted transducer layout improved electric field delivery for the second tumor position.
    • Average field strength was comparable for cystic and solid tumors, independent of tumor electrical properties.

    Conclusions:

    • Transducer placement significantly impacts TTFields delivery to brain tumors.
    • Individualized treatment planning holds promise for optimizing TTFields therapy.
    • Further research into personalized TTFields therapy is warranted.
