The Clinical Application of Tumor Treating Fields Therapy in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary brain malignancy in adults, with most tumors recurring after initial treatment. Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy is the newest treatment modality for glioblastoma. Here, we describe the proper application of TTFields-transducer arrays on patients and discuss theory and aspects of...

PET and MRI Guided Irradiation of a Glioblastoma Rat Model Using a Micro-irradiator10:48

PET and MRI Guided Irradiation of a Glioblastoma Rat Model Using a Micro-irradiator

In the past, small animal irradiation was usually performed without the ability to target a well-delineated tumor volume. The goal was to mimic the treatment of human glioblastoma in rats. Using a small animal irradiation platform, we performed MRI-guided 3D conformal irradiation with PET-based sub-volume boosting in a preclinical...
