October 21, 2021 — Novocure announced 15 presentations on Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) will be featured at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2021 Annual Meeting from Oct. 24 to Oct. 27 in Chicago. External authors prepared five of the presentations, three of which include new data, reflecting continued interest in Novocure’s proprietary TTFields platform within the radiation oncology community.
Two presentations will feature new data on the investigational use of concurrent TTFields and chemoradiation for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). Another presentation will highlight new data on the effects of TTFields in combination with irradiation on human GBM cells.
“We and our partners are excited to present and see a variety of research on Tumor Treating Fields at ASTRO’s 2021 Annual Meeting,” said Ely Benaim, M.D., Novocure’s Chief Medical Officer. “We appreciate the opportunity to continue our partnership with the radiation oncology community in working to establish Tumor Treating Fields as an important treatment for solid tumors. We look forward to participating in the exchange of scientific information at one of the premier meetings for radiation oncologists.”
The following will be presented at the ASTRO 2021 Annual Meeting:
