Electric field therapy for gliomas is useful, especially for recurrent gliomas.
Electric field therapy refers to the action of medium-frequency electric field, which can intervene in the division of tumor cells, and even cause the death of tumor cells, without affecting normal cells. Clinical trials have found that if electric field therapy is performed for more than 20 hours a day, there is a significant prolongation of survival for recurrent gliomas.
Treatment options for gliomas are mainly based on surgery. Electric field therapy for glioma is mainly a treatment for recurrent glioma. Most of the adverse reactions to electric field therapy are skin reactions, so it is important to strengthen prevention, such as washing hands and cleaning the scalp before and after attaching and removing electrodes.
Electric field therapy is a physical treatment, the equipment is portable and easy to bring, there is no obvious complication except that it may cause local skin adverse reaction, the damage to human body is small, and the patient is easy to accept.
