Transient Treatment Field (TTF) Inducing Mitotic Spindle Rearrangement in Polarity.
*The induced magnetic fi eld specifi c to the frequency of CSCs disrupts the spindle formation and
subsequent continuance of mitosis
Increased apoptosis of CSCs will result in a signifi cantly smaller number of
matured cancer cells, which can then be addressed successfully with common
anticancer therapies. Thus, anticancer therapy that only results in apoptosis of the
matured cancer cells and/or only inhibits the proliferation of CSCs provides a
