About

We're a global oncology company that started with a professor's discovery in his basement. In 2000, Prof. Yoram Palti found that electric fields at specific frequencies could disrupt cancer cell division. That insight became Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields), a therapy that uses alternating electric fields to fight tumors without the side effects of traditional treatments. We've come a long way since those early experiments - treating our first patient in Switzerland, gaining FDA approvals, and building devices that patients use at home.

Today we're extending survival in some of the most aggressive cancers: glioblastoma, mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Our products - Optune Gio, Optune Lua, and Optune Pax - deliver TTFields therapy to thousands of patients worldwide. We're also running clinical trials (LUNAR, METIS, PANOVA, TRIDENT) to explore new applications. Everything we do is patient-forward, meaning we start and end with the people we're trying to help. Our team spans the globe, with offices in the US, Europe, Israel, and beyond, all working toward one goal: giving patients more time with the people they love.
