Highlights |
• | Current treatments for high-grade gliomas have not reached optimal remission. |
• | TTFields is proven to be effective in preclinical and clinical studies. |
• | TTFields inhibits glioma proliferation by inducing mitotic delay and aneuploidy. |
• | TTFields is limited by its high expenses and other potential problems. |
Abstract |
High-grade gliomas (HGG) are the most common malignant intracranial tumors with poor prognosis. Current treatments have not yielded optimal remission rates; there are no standard treatments for recurrent and drug-resistant gliomas. Tumor treating fields, which was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), could significantly improve progression free survival and the overall survival of glioma patients. In this review, we elaborate on the mechanism of tumor treating fields in tumor cells and detail various preclinical and clinical studies on gliomas. Tumor treating fields could be a promising option for patients with malignant tumors for which there are no standard treatment plans. Moreover, we identify several potential problems for the practical application of tumor treating fields and predict future directions for further studies. Tumor treating fields may be a potential therapy with high efficacy, fewer adverse effects, and high cost-effectiveness.
