To provide an overview of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) and the Optune device in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme as well as discuss the evolution of TTFields technology for the treatment of different tumor types.
Peer reviewed publications, proceedings, and Internet-based resources.
TTFields represent a unique technological modality for the effective treatment of glioblastoma multiforme and potentially other solid tumors. Oncology nurses are situated to play important roles as educators and advocates for patients and caregivers on the adherent use and management of this new and evolving treatment technology.
The increasing use of TTFields in cancer treatment draws attention to the expanding role for oncology nurses in the administration of this unique therapy. As an educator and advocate, the oncology nurse guides the cancer patient and caregiver through understanding the mechanism of action, initiation of TTFields treatment, and adjusting to the daily challenges of treatment administration, management of side effects, and optimizing compliance to treatment adherence to maximize treatment outcomes.
