Stopping Cancer with Electric Fields (So it's Intensive :D)



TED Talks are extremely good and entertaining sources for advancements in technology today. In this video below, Bill Doyle discusses the possibility to stop cancer cells from spreading and growing into larger, metastatic tumors by eliminating its means of growth: cell division. Bill Doyle is the executive chair of Novocure, a company commercializing a new therapeutic modality for solid tumors using low-intensity electric fields. Recently, Novocure received FDA approval for its first indication, recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), the most virulent form of brain cancer; it is now conducting additional clinical trials.
