Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to medical devices and methods for using the same to treat cancerous tumors within a bodily tissue. A medical device system is included having an electric field generating circuit configured to generate one or more electric fields and a control circuit in communication with the electric field generating circuit. The control circuit configured to control delivery of the one or more electric fields from the electric field generating circuit. The system can include two or more electrodes to deliver the electric fields to a site of a cancerous tumor within a patient and a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of tissue at the site of the cancerous tumor. The control circuit can cause the electric field generating circuit to generate one or more electric fields at frequencies selected from a range of between 10 kHz to 1 MHz. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: A medical system for monitoring a left atrial pressure in a heart of a patient may include an implantable device including an expandable framework and a first sensor secured to the expandable framework and an external component configured to communicate wirelessly with the implantable device. The first sensor may be configured to detect a first measurement. The first sensor may be a pressure sensor and the first measurement may be the left atrial pressure. The implantable device or the external component may include a processor configured to create a first trend for the first measurement. The processor may be configured to use the first trend to modify the first measurement prior to outputting a corrected result.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method for treating a cancerous tumor located within a subject. The method can include applying one or more electric fields at or near a site of the cancerous tumor, where the cancerous tumor can include a cancerous cell population. The one or more applied electric fields are effective to delay mitosis and cause mitotic synchronization within a proportion of the cancerous cell population. The method can include removing the one or more electric fields to allow mitosis to proceed within the cancerous cell population. The method can include administering a chemotherapeutic agent to the subject after the one or more electric fields have been removed. Other embodiments are also included herein.
