1. A treatment method comprising:
obtaining, by a processor, patient information, tumor information and electric field-related information;
calculating, by the processor, an electric field strength applied to a first tumor region based on the patient information, the tumor information and the electric field-related information;
performing, by the processor, a correction operation of the calculated electric field strength using an electric field treatment learning model that is trained based on historical treatment data comprising patient-specific data, tumor characteristics, and previously input electric field treatment information;
determining, by the processor, the number of electrodes, locations of the electrodes and an application time based on the calculated electric field strength; and
controlling, by the processor, an electric field generator and electrodes to apply the corrected electric field to the first tumor region according to the determined number, locations, and application time.
