Provided is a method of oncolytic virus therapy for a tumour based on using neutrophil count as a predictor of the efficacy of oncolytic virus therapy for the tumour, comprising: determining the neutrophil count level in the blood of a tumour patient prior to tumour treatment; and, when the neutrophil count level in the blood of the tumour patient is below a cut-off value, administering an oncolytic virus to the tumour patient for treatment, wherein the cut-off value is any value from 2×109 to 5.5×109 / L.
Alternating electric fields (e.g., TTFields) may be applied to the body of a subject using one or more electrode assemblies including a sheet of anisotropic material, at least one conductive material layer disposed on a front surface of the sheet of anisotropic material, and an electrode element disposed behind the sheet of anisotropic material. The electrode element has a front surface disposed in electrical contact with a rear surface of the sheet of anisotropic material. The sheet of anisotropic material spreads both heat and current in a direction parallel to the front surface of the sheet, eliminating or at least minimizing hot spots on the electrode assembly. This in turn allows for increased current flow without exceeding a temperature safety threshold (e.g., 41°C).
