INNV-17. INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES TO ENHANCE PATIENT AND CAREGIVER UNDERSTANDING OF TTFIELDS FOR GLIOBLASTOMA

摘要

The most common, aggressive malignant brain tumor is Glioblastoma (GBM) with patient median survival of 15–21 months. Patients with GBM face devastation of diagnosis, disease-burden, and hardship of seeking accurate information regarding treatment options. Evolving technology-enhanced methods of learning challenge traditional ways patients with cancer are educated and create an educational paradigm shift. The device manufacturer of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields)) has developed innovative supplementary educational platforms to compliment healthcare provider (HCP) education of patients-caregivers with GBM treated with TTFields. This report aimed to evaluate these supplementary educational platforms.
