Title:
ELECTRIC FIELD CANCER TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD USING OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/009306
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electric field cancer treatment device and method using an optimization algorithm, the electric field cancer-treating treatment device enabling the treatment of a tumor by applying electric fields to the tumor and normal tissues of a patient by using at least one pair of electrode pads having a plurality of electrodes. The electric field cancer-treating treatment device comprises: an image classification unit for classifying, by organ, at least one organ in a captured image of a patient; and an electric field optimization unit for, on the basis of a classified tumor and normal tissues, calculating the number and positions of electrodes being applied and arranging same on electrode pads having a predetermined size, and determining mutually different voltage levels for the calculated electrodes. According to the present invention, when electric fields applied to the respective electrodes are adjusted by using an optimization algorithm, and the electric fields are transferred to the inside of a human body, mutually different electric fields may be applied to the tumor and the normal tissues, and thus the level of the electric field transferred to the normal tissues may be relatively lower than the level of the electric field transferred to the tumor, and thus a risk of treatment side effects may be reduced, and thus the treatment success rate may be increased.
