    Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) and pulsed electric fields (PEF) represent a novel fourth modality in oncological treatment.

  • 2

    Electric fields induce conformational changes in G protein-coupled receptors, initiating intracellular signaling pathways.

  • 3

    Precise modulation of electric field parameters can selectively drive cell death toward apoptosis or pyroptosis.

  • 4

    Electric field therapy can convert cold tumors into hot tumors, enhancing immune response and efficacy of immunotherapy.

  • 5

    Chronic electric field exposure may lead to compensatory resistance in tumors, necessitating refined stimulation protocols.
