Official title
A Multi-Institutional Pilot Study of Prophylactic Cranial Tumor-Treating Fields for Patients With Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This trial studies how well tumor-treating fields therapy works in preventing brain tumors in participants with small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Tumor-treating fields therapy involves the use of the NovoTTF-200A which delivers alternating electrical fields, or tumor treating fields, through ceramic discs placed on the head. This electric force may slow and/or reverse tumor growth by disrupting the way cancer cells grow.
