An Israeli physicist has developed a theoretical model to simulate the evolution of highly proliferating brain tumour core cells subjected to treatment by alternating radio frequency electric field. The research, by Alexander Iomin from the Israel Institute of Technology Technion in Haifa, is about to be published in European Physical Journal E. In another model, the author examines the possibility of enhancing the level of treatment by targeting the outer area of the tumour.
