摘要:
Embodiments herein relate to medical device systems including electric field shaping elements for use in treating cancerous tumors within a bodily tissue. In an embodiment, a method for treating a cancerous tumor is provided. The method can include implanting one or more electrodes within a patient and measuring the impedance of tissue within the patient along a vector passing through or near a cancerous tumor. The method can also include administering an electric field to the cancerous tumor of the patient based on the measured impedance. Other embodiments are also included herein.
