Summary

This early study tests the safety of a wearable device called Optune that creates low-intensity electric fields to disrupt cancer cell division. Ten adults with brainstem gliomas will wear the device to see if it can slow tumor growth or shrink the cancer. The goal is to find a new way to control this hard-to-treat brain tumor.
