    The study evaluated the efficacy of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in 28 patients with high-grade gliomas in a real-world setting.

  • 2

    The median duration of TTFields use was 9.4 months, with a median adherence rate of 88.05% among the patients.

  • 3

    Newly diagnosed patients had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 18.1 months and overall survival (OS) of 22.0 months.

  • 4

    In the recurrent cohort, median PFS was 9.1 months and OS was 18.2 months, with grade 1–2 dermatologic reactions as the most common adverse events.

    These findings suggest TTFields therapy is feasible and well tolerated, but further prospective studies with larger cohorts are needed.
