Summary
This study looked at brain tissue from 20 glioblastoma patients who had received Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy. Researchers examined the tissue after the patients died to see how the treatment affected tumor cells. The goal was to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and use TTFields for glioblastoma.
