Tumor Treating Fields for the Treatment of Brainstem Gliomas (NCT05310448)
Tumor Treating Fields: Pilot Study of Adjuvant Treatment for Brainstem Gliomas
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This clinical trial tests the safety and side effects of tumor treating fields in treating patients with gliomas located in the brainstem. Optune is a wearable, portable, treatment that creates low-intensity, wave-like electric fields called tumor treating fields (TTFields), which interfere with cancer cell division. TTFields may prevent growth or decrease size of gliomas in patients
