Optune during radiation?


My tumor has returned and my NO has recommended more radiation and daily TMZ. Does anyone know if it is ok to wear the Optune during radiation treatment - obviously I won’t have it on during the 20 minutes of radiation, but how about the rest of the time?

I often get scalp sores from the Optune so I am concerned about infections, etc.

Thanks,
Mike

  1. There's a clinical trial testing this that opened a year ago, so they may have some information if you wrote to them.
