摘要:
Embodiments herein relate to medical devices including volume filling leads and methods of use to treat cancerous tumors within a bodily tissue. In an embodiment, a lead for a cancer treatment system is described. The lead can include a lead body having a proximal end and a distal end, where the lead body can define a lumen. The lead can include an expandable lead head connected to the distal end of the lead body, where the lead head can be configured to be expanded between a first non-expanded position and a second expanded position in order to fill an intracorporeal void. The lead can include two or more electrodes disposed on an outer surface of the lead head and two or more electrical conductors configured to provide electrical communication between the two or more electrodes and the proximal end of the lead body. Other embodiments are also included herein.
