  Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and malignant primary intracranial tumor, has a median survival of only 10 to 14 months with only 3 to 5% of patients surviving more than three years.Recurrence (RGBM) is nearly universal, and further decreases the median survival to only five to seven months with optimal therapy.Tumor-treating fields (TTField) therapy is a novel treatment technique that has recently received CE and FDA approval for the treatment of RGBM, and is based on the principle that low intensity, intermediate frequency electric fields (100 to 300 kHz) have an anti-mitotic effect in specific cell types.
