Treatment of tumors by application of high currents using an array of electrodes with a controlled generator power source whereby the current in each electrode pair is limited to a maximum value

摘要

Device for tumor treatment has a generator power source (5) and an array of needle electrodes (6, 7, 8, 6', 7', 8') which can be used to apply current to the tumor (1) or draw current from it. A controller is provided with which the current to each electrode can be limited to a maximum value.
