Wearable Electronic Fights Cancer

Dec-10-17 A wearable device that prevents tumor cells from spreading could offer a new way to help fight cancer.

Current electroceutics—medical devices that treat disease by stimulating the body’s electrical signals—typically require invasive surgery for implantation.

In contrast, the new wireless technology in development by a team led by Dr. Frankie Rawson of Nottingham University is based on the idea that slowing the external electron transfer of cancerous cells can stop tumor growth. With that in mind, Rawson’s team is working to create an externally worn, 3D-printed device able to generate a precise electrical field that will alter the cells’ electron transfer.
