1. An apparatus for delivering tumor treating fields to a subject's body, the apparatus comprising:
a plurality of electrically coupled electrode elements to be located on a subject's body and able to deliver tumor treating fields to the subject's body,
wherein at least one electrode element of the plurality of electrically coupled electrode elements comprises a dielectric layer, the dielectric layer has a first surface to face the subject's body and a second surface opposite the first surface, and at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the dielectric layer is a non-planar surface.
