Body Fluids Modulate Propagation of Tumor Treating Fields.
Advances in Radiation Oncology 2024 January
Tumor treating fields (TTFields) are nonionizing alternating electric fields that have anticancer properties. After the initial approval for use in patients with recurrent glioblastoma in 2011 and newly diagnosed glioblastomas in 2015, they are now being tested in those with advanced lung cancer, ovarian carcinoma, and pancreatic cancer. Unlike ionizing radiation therapy, TTFields have nonlinear propagation characteristics; therefore, it is difficult for clinicians to recognize intuitively the location where these fields have the most impact. However, finite element analysis offers a means of delineating TTFields in the human body. Our analyses in the brain, pelvis, and thorax revealed that cerebrospinal fluid, edema, urine, ascites, pleural fluid, and necrotic core within a tumor greatly influence their distribution within these body cavities. Our observations thus provided a unified framework on the role of these compartmentalized fluids in influencing the propagation of TTFields.
