Abstract: Electric field treatment of tumor technology is of great significance in the treatment of glioma, including direct current electric field and alternating electric field. Direct current electric field affects the migration of glioma cells, and can be used as a new clue for the treatment of glioma. While alternating electric field can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells, and induce apoptosis, and can obviously prolong the survival period of patients with glioma and improve their quality of life.

Key words: Glioma, Electromagnetic fields, Intermediate frequency alternating electric field
