Electric field device for treating tumors

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to an electric field device for treating tumors. According to the technical scheme, the electric field device for treating the tumors is composed of an electric field therapeutic instrument, a connecting wire, a power supply and an electric field therapeutic instrument controller. The electric field therapeutic apparatus is connected with a power supply through a connecting wire, and the electric field therapeutic apparatus and the electric field therapeutic apparatus controller receive and transmit wireless signals. The invention mainly solves the problem of carrying equipment for a long time in the treatment of brain swelling, also improves the compliance of patients, greatly improves the tumor inhibition effect due to 24-hour uninterrupted work, does not need to shave the head in the use method, and has little skin allergy; according to the method, only one-time installation is needed, the patch does not need to be repeatedly replaced, and the treatment cost is greatly reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology, specifically relates to an electric field device for treating tumors. Background [0002] Cancer cells are a group of cells that are rapidly mitosis and have uncontrolled malignant proliferation. In recent years, electric field therapy has become a new type of measure for tumor treatment. The tumor treatment electric field is a kind of electrotherapy equipment for the treatment of cancer, which covers the tumor area to produce an electric field, destroys the mitosis of cancer cells, promotes their apoptosis and necrosis, and prevents their proliferation and invasion. [0003] TTF has a clear therapeutic effect on gliomas, but there are still limitations and aspects that need to be improved: (1) The current relevant studies recommend that the treatment time is not less than 18h per day, which is more conducive to improving the clinical efficacy, but the daily treatment time is too long will af...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] TTF has a clear therapeutic effect on glioma, but there are still limitations and aspects that need to be improved: (1) The current relevant research recommends that the treatment time should not be less than 18 hours per day, which is more conducive to improving the clinical efficacy, but the daily treatment time is too long The long-term will affect the patient's treatment compliance; and the patient needs to carry the device for a long time, the volume, quality and portability of the TTF generating device have become problems that need to be solved

(2) At present, the development of TTF treatment requires patients to shave their hair, which will inevitably cause psychological burden on some patients, especially female patients. It is necessary to further optimize the corresponding contact parts in order to reduce the skin preparation area

(3) Current research shows that compared with chemotherapy alone, TTF combined with chemotherapy does not increase the incidence of side effects such as headache, anxiety, depression, disturbance of consciousness, and epilepsy, but the incidence of skin allergies has increased. Corresponding skin ointment can be used to reduce allergic symptoms (4) There is still no corresponding clinical trial report on the safety of TTF devices used by patients with electronic implants (brain pacemaker, cardiac pacemaker), and the use of these patients still needs to be cautious

(5) At present, the subjects of TTF clinical research are mainly adult patients, and the relevant treatment parameters are also set for adults. There is no separate related experiment for children. Therefore, the intensity, frequency and daily treatment duration of TTF should be considered in children. Need to adjust

The periodic growth of hair also prevents the sensor array from making good contact with the scalp.

[0006] In short, there are many difficult problems in the current TTF, such as: 1. The recommended daily treatment time of wearing equipment is too long, generally requiring more than 18 hours, which affects the patient's treatment compliance; Volume, quality and portability have become problems that need to be solved; 3. The development of TTF treatment requires patients to shave their hair, which will inevitably cause some psychological burden, especially for female patients; 4. The incidence of skin allergies at the electrode patch has increased, etc.
