    摘要: Embodiments herein relate to medical devices including electric field shaping leads and methods for using the same to treat cancerous tumors within a bodily tissue. In an embodiment, an implantable lead for a cancer treatment system is disclosed. The lead can include a lead body having a proximal end and a distal end, where the lead body can define a lumen. The lead can also include a paddle disposed at the distal end of the lead body, the paddle having a width that is greater than a width of the lead body. The paddle can include one or more electrodes disposed on the paddle and one or more electrical conductors disposed within the lumen of the lead body to provide electrical communication between the one or more electrodes and the proximal end of the lead body. Other embodiments are also included herein.
