Zusammenfassung:An insulated electrode system for delivering a plurality of tumor treating electromagnetic fields including an array of electrode elements for proximate location on a body of a patient. Each electrode element of the array having an insulation layer. Each electrode element being independently electrically accessible and configured to be dynamically assigned to emanate an electromagnetic field relative to at least one other of said electrode elements. Un sistema de electrodos aislados para administrar una pluralidad de campos electromagnéticos de tratamiento tumoral que incluye una serie de elementos de electrodo para la ubicación próxima en el cuerpo de un paciente. Cada elemento de electrodo de la serie tiene una capa aislante. Cada elemento de electrodo es accesible eléctricamente de manera independiente y está configurado para asignarse dinámicamente a emanar un campo electromagnético con respecto a al menos otro de los elementos de electrodo.
