ABOUT THE NEW GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS

After many years of being based in Root, Canton of Lucerne, Novocure has now moved into its new global headquarters in Baar, Canton of Zug. The building in Baar was constructed using state-of-the-art technology reflecting the company’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its operations wherever possible. A variety of innovative approaches to increase the sustainability of its workspaces, and decrease consumption and waste were incorporated into the building, including a reversible air-to-water heat pump for heating and cooling, which is powered by rooftop solar panels.

ABOUT TUMOR TREATING FIELDS

Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that exert physical forces to kill cancer cells via a variety of mechanisms. TTFields do not significantly affect healthy cells because they have different properties (including division rate, morphology, and electrical properties) than cancer cells. These multiple, distinct mechanisms work together to target and kill cancer cells. Due to these multi-mechanistic actions, TTFields therapy can be added to cancer treatment modalities in approved indications and demonstrates enhanced effects across solid tumor types when used with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibition, or targeted therapies in preclinical models. TTFields therapy provides clinical versatility that has the potential to help address treatment challenges across a range of solid tumors.
