This document describes methods for increasing the sensitivity of a
cancer cell to alternating electric fields, comprising exposing the
cancer cell to an alternating
electric field for a specified period of time, said alternating
electric field having a specified frequency and
field strength, and exposing the
cancer cell to an IGFR1 inhibitor, a
JNK inhibitor, an RPS6 inhibitor, or an ERK inhibitor. It also describes methods for increasing the
efficacy of the treatment, comprising applying an alternating
electric field to a
target site on the subject for a specified period of time, said alternating electric field having a specified frequency and
field strength, wherein the
target site comprises one or more cancer cells, and administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more inhibitors of IGF1R, JNK, RPS6, and / or ERK.Methods for treating a subject with cancer are described, comprising applying an alternating electric field to a
target site of the subject for a period of time, said alternating electric field having a determined frequency and
field strength, wherein the target site comprises one or more cancer cells, and administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or more inhibitors of IGF1R, JNK, RPS6, and / or ERK to the subject. Methods for reducing the viability of cancer cells using an alternating electric field for a period of time, said alternating electric field having a determined frequency and field strength, in combination with an inhibitor of IGF1R, JNK, RPS6, and / or ERK, are described.Methods for increasing
apoptosis of a
cancer cell are described comprising exposing the
cancer cell to an alternating electric field for a period of time, said alternating electric field having a determined frequency and
field intensity; and exposing the
cancer cell to an inhibitor of IGFR1, JNK, RPS6 or ERK.
