Abstract
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are a non-invasive, regional antimitotic treatment modality, which has been approved for the treatment of glioblastoma. TTFields at specific frequency (150-200 kHz) are delivered via transducer arrays placed on the skin in proximity to the tumor site. TTFields predominantly act by disrupting the formation of the mitotic spindle during metaphase. TTFields were effective in multiple preclinical models of pancreatic cancer. The phase II PANOVA study, the first trial testing TTFields in pancreatic cancer patients, demonstrated the safety and preliminary efficacy of TTFields when combined with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in both metastatic and LAPC.
