Abstract
A modular electrode system for therapeutic application of an electric field to a tissue is described. The modular electrode system includes a flexible scaffold that conforms to a variable convex or concave surface such as a resected tissue cavity or other target tissue area and includes one or more surface electrodes in addition to one or more depth electrodes. The modular electrode system includes a control system that communicates with the plurality of electrodes of the flexible scaffold to deliver a stimulating voltage and receive measured voltage values for real-time optimization of the electric field generated within the tissue.
