There is a new video on that page which shows the effect Optune has on dividing cancer cells. They show cancer cells in culture dividing, the ones on the left are treated with Optune, the ones on the left are not treated. Aside from the amazing video of showing cells blow up when they try to divide, the end result is a huge reduction in the number of tumor cells at the end.

Indications for Use
Optune is intended as a treatment for adult patients (22 years of age or older) with histologically confirmed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), following histologically-or radiologically-confirmed recurrence in the supra-tentorial region of the brain after receiving chemotherapy. The device is intended to be used as a monotherapy, and is intended as an alternative to standard medical therapy for GBM after surgical and radiation options have been exhausted.
