Important to maintain perspective on this possible 'treatment'

Currently, they are still recruiting on four clinical trials:

Skin Cancer
Active, Recruiting

Oral Cavity Cancer
Active, Recruiting

Breast Cancer
Active, Recruiting

Pancreatic Cancer
Active, Recruiting

They have yet to prove anything significant outside of pre-clinical trials. Of course the company are 'bigging up' their treatment but it is one thing a company saying they would be looking at "approval next year" and another thing bringing this to fruition.

My point was that it is not a cap, with electrical currents. Devices with electrical currents that make your Abs hard or whatever, are everywhere. They wanted to claim it improved Glioblastoma and the hurdle was not high for them at FDA like it is not hard for the other companies that do that with your abs. Though they do not necessarily claim to be “medical devices”, so there was a slight additional hurdle.

These radiation devices need to be implanted I believe, and I don’t know but I would expect in the tumor inside the skull. So there will be additional requirements. It’s simply not so easy.

Additionally, radiation is used all the time. We’ll have to see if this works with Glioblastoma and if it has no negative side effects.
